We defined key tumor heterogeneity features, including the presence of mixed KRAS mutations and tertiary lymphoid structures, identifying biomarkers that distinguish the latter from lymph nodes. Lastly, by leveraging patient, cell, and mouse data, we determined which aspects of tumor biology are recapitulated in bulk datasets and reductionist models.

Treatment with the Treg-depleting antibody RG6292 suppressed viral transformation in donors that otherwise supported LCL outgrowth, confirming a functional role for Tregs in shaping early EBV infection outcomes. Viral transcript enrichment-seq revealed an upregulation of early lytic and failure to sustain latent gene expression correlating with failure to generate LCL. These findings highlight intact PBMCs as a tractable model to study EBV viral-host interaction in a genetically diverse, human-specific context, and that Tregs play a key determining role in viral transformation.
The competitive receptor ACKR1 was minimally expressed on endothelial cells, consistent with PDAC hypo-vascularity...Differential interactions and the presence of "dominant signaling cell populations " with dominant outgoing signals may underlie the heterogeneity in tumor aggressiveness across these cancers. Comparative scRNA-seq analysis of multiple cancers reveals distinct tumor phenotypes and cell-cell communication patterns, offering insights into the molecular architecture of human solid tumors.
These results were maintained even after IPTW adjustment. In SPKT recipients with low immunological risk, basiliximab provides comparable long-term patient and graft outcomes to thymoglobulin while reducing the incidence of opportunistic infections.
