EVA1-Antibody Drug Conjugate Is a New Therapeutic Strategy for Eliminating Glioblastoma-Initiating Cells
[Neuro-Oncology] Hybridoma cells were generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with EVA1-Fc fusion protein. The reactivity of the supernatant from these hybridoma cells was examined using EVA1-overexpressing cells and glioblastoma-initiating cells. Candidate antibodies were further selected using Biacore surface plasmon resonance analysis and two cytotoxicity assays, antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity

RAS-Mutant Leukemia Stem Cells Drive Clinical Resistance to Venetoclax
[Nature] Investigators provide the mechanistic explanation for this in a requirement for mutant RAS to specifically transform committed progenitors of the myelomonocytic lineage harboring previously acquired driver mutations, showing that advanced leukemic clones can originate from a different cell type in the hematopoietic hierarchy than ancestral clones.

High-Parametric Protein Maps Reveal the Spatial Organization in Early-Developing Human Lung
[FierceBiotech] Using high-parametric tissue imaging with a 30-plex antibody panel, investigators analyzed human lung samples from 6 to 13 post-conception weeks, generating data from over 2 million cells across five developmental timepoints.

MICU2 Up-Regulation Enhances Tumor Aggressiveness and Metabolic Reprogramming during Colorectal Cancer Development
[PLOS Biology] Scientists describe the role of MICU2 in cell proliferation and invasion using in vitro and in vivo models of human CRC. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated an increase in MICU2 expression and the MICU2/MICU1 ratio in advanced CRC and CRC-derived metastases.

Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Rectal Organoids from Individuals with Perianal Fistulizing Crohn’s Disease Reveals Patient-Specific Signatures
[Scientific Reports] Rectal organoid and mucosal cells from endoscopic biopsies of each patient having perianal fistulizing CD or no disease controls were prepared for and sequenced at the single cell level.

Integrative Single-Cell Multi-Omics of CD19-CARpos and CARneg T Cells Suggest Drivers of Immunotherapy Response in B Cell Neoplasias
[Cell Reports Medicine] Investigators integrated clonal kinetics with transcriptomic heterogeneity resolved by single-cell omics to interrogate cellular dynamics of non-transduced and transduced T cells, in the infusion product and at the CAR-T cell expansion peak in five B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients treated with CD19 CAR-T cells

A PSMA-Targeted Tri-Specific Killer Engager Enhances NK Cell Cytotoxicity Against Prostate Cancer
[Cancer Immunology Research] Scientists reported that the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) Tri-specific Killer Engager specifically bound to PSMA-expressing cells and significantly enhanced expansion, degranulation, and cytokine production of NK cells derived from healthy donors or prostate cancer patients.
Osteoblast-Derived ECM1 Promotes Anti-Androgen Resistance in Bone Metastatic Prostate Cancer
[Advanced Science] Researchers demonstrated that under enzalutamide treatment, osteoblasts in the bone microenvironment secrete increased levels of extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), which affected surrounding prostate cancer cells, promoting tumor cell proliferation and anti-androgen resistance.
Rapid Modulation of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons and Dopamine Release by Satellite Astrocytes
[Nature Communications] Scientists discovered that striatal astrocytes occupied a cell type-specific anatomical and functional relationship with cholinergic interneurons (ChIs), through which they rapidly excited ChIs and governed dopamine release via nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on subsecond timescales.
