T cells are crucial for immune functions to maintain health and prevent disease. T cell
development occurs in a stepwise process in the thymus and mainly generates CD4+ and …

Over decades, researchers have focused on the epigenetic control of DNA-templated
processes. Histone modification, DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, RNA modification …

Background Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) plays a key role in activation of cellular immunity and
subsequently, stimulation of antitumor immune-response. Based on its cytostatic, pro …

Abstract The international American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International

Dysregulation of the epigenome drives aberrant transcriptional programmes that promote
cancer onset and progression. Although defective gene regulation often affects oncogenic …

Inflammation predisposes to the development of cancer and promotes all stages of
tumorigenesis. Cancer cells, as well as surrounding stromal and inflammatory cells, engage …

Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes are associated with a survival benefit in several tumour
types and with the response to immunotherapy,,,,,,–. However, the reason some tumours …

Lethal hit delivery by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) towards B lymphoma cells occurs as a
binary,“yes/no” process. In non-hematologic solid tumors, however, CTL often fail to kill …

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), a technology that analyzes transcriptomes of
complex tissues at single-cell levels, can identify differential gene expression and epigenetic …
