Abstract Inactivation of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) is one the mechanisms mitigating antitumor immunity during tumor onset and progression. Epigenetic abnormalities are regarded as a major culprit contributing to dysfunction TILs within microenvironments. In this study, we used murine model melanoma discover that Tet2 inactivation significantly enhances activity with an efficacy comparable immune checkpoint inhibition imposed by anti-PD-L1 treatment. Single-cell RNA-sequencing...

Binary expression systems like the LexA-LexAop system provide a powerful experimental tool kit to study gene and tissue function in developmental biology, neurobiology, physiology. However, number of well-defined LexA enhancer trap insertions remains limited. In this study, we present molecular characterization initial analysis nearly 100 novel StanEx traps, derived from

Placental dysfunction is implicated in many pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia and preterm birth (PTB). While both these syndromes are influenced by environmental risk factors, they also have a substantial genetic component that not well understood. Precisely controlled gene expression during development crucial to proper placental function often mediated through regulatory enhancers. However, we lack accurate maps of enhancer activity due the challenges assaying placenta...

Abstract High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is deadliest of gynecological malignancies. Ovarian tumor cells can directly spread throughout the peritoneal space as single that grow into tumorspheres concomitant with generation malignant ascites contains growth factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Greater than 70% advanced stage HGSOC patients exhibit gains or amplifications for Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) gene, a tyrosine kinase activated by ECM In other solid tumors,...
