CASC15-S is a tumor suppressor lncRNA at the 6p22 neuroblastoma susceptibility locus

Chromosome 6p22 was identified recently as a neuroblastoma susceptibility locus, but its mechanistic contributions to tumorigenesis are as yet undefined. Here we report that the most highly significant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations ...

Tumor-specific effector CD8+ T cells that can establish immunological memory in humans after adoptive transfer are marked by expression of IL-7 receptor and c-MYC

The optimal T cell attributes for adoptive cancer immunotherapy are unclear. Recent clinical trials of ex vivo expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes indicated that differentiated T effector can elicit durable anti-tumor responses in some cancer patie...

IL7R and c-myc Identify Effector T Cells That Can Establish Memory

The optimal T-cell attributes for adoptive cancer immunotherapy are unclear. Recent clinical trials of ex vivo–expanded tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes indicated that differentiated T effector cells can elicit durable antitumor responses in some patie...

C-Raf Colocalizes with DAPK in the Mitochondria

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells. Mitochondrial C-Raf is a potential cancer therapeutic target, as it regulates mitochondrial function and is localized to the mitochondria by its N-terminal domain. However, Raf inhibitor monotherapy can induce...
