Introduction Interleukin (IL)-2 was the first Food and Drug Administration approved immunotherapy for use in patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.1 2 However, the use of recombinant IL-2 (Proleukin/aldesleukin) has been problematic due to low response rates, off-target effects, and severe dose-dependent toxicities. Due to its potent T-cell…

Even though cancer therapeutic methods are improving rapidly, cancer recurrence has always remained a big challenge. Even a small lesion of missed neoplastic cells during the surgery can result in tumor recurrence and the consequent silent metastasis, making this issue more critical and complicated for prognosis. Hence, developing new methods…

Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2–3% of all malignant tumors, and its prevalence is rising. Metastatic RCC accounts for 25–30% of all RCC cases, and has an exceedingly poor prognosis.1 In 2020, among approximately 430,000 newly discovered cases of RCC, 179,000 died.2 Clear cell renal cell carcinoma…

Introduction Today, malignant tumors (cancer) still severely imperil human health and cause millions of global mortality rates.1,2 Deep-seated solid tumors are challenging to cure by most therapeutic tools, mainly blamed on the complex tumor microenvironment (TME).3,4 Adoptive cell therapy (ACT), as one of the effective immunotherapeutic means for cancer treatment,…

Abstract The metabolic mechanisms involved in the survival of tumor cells within the hypoxic niche remain unclear. We carried out a synthetic lethal CRISPR screen to identify survival mechanisms governed by the tumor hypoxia–induced pH regulator carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX). We identified a redox homeostasis network containing the iron-sulfur cluster…

Significance During the aging process, senescent cells secrete inflammatory factors, causing various age-related pathologies. Thus, controlling the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can tremendously benefit human health. Although SASP seems to be induced by the alteration of chromosomal organization, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, it has been revealed that noncoding…

Mice are commonly used as models of human disease, helping scientists to understand the workings of complex pathologies and develop safe and efficacious drugs.
