<div>Abstract<p>The intertumor and intratumor heterogeneity of triple-negative breast cancers, which is reflected in diverse drug responses, interplays with tumor evolution. In this study, we developed a preclinical experimental analytical framework using patient-derived xenografts (PDTX) from patients treatment-naïve cancers to test their predictive value personalized cancer treatment approaches. Patients matched PDTXs exhibited concordant responses neoadjuvant therapy two trial...

Tumors induce tolerance toward their antigens by producing the chemokine CCL21, leading to formation of tertiary lymphoid organs (TLOs). Ins2-CCL21 transgenic, nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice express CCL21 in pancreatic β-cells and do not develop autoimmune diabetes. We investigated which mechanisms expression prevented TLOs 4 weeks age, consisting naive CD4+ T cells compartmentalized within networks CD45−gp38+CD31− fibroblastic reticular cell (FRC)–like cells. Importantly, 12-week-old...

The inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity of triple negative breast cancers (TNBC), which is reflected in diverse drug responses, interplays with tumor evolution. Here, we developed a preclinical experimental analytical framework using treatment-naive TNBC patient-derived xenografts (PDTX) to test their predictive value personalized cancer treatment approaches. Patients matched PDTX exhibited concordant responses neoadjuvant therapy two trial designs dosing schedules. This platform enabled...
