Emerging insights into the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and its implications for glioblastoma immunotherapy.

Glioblastoma is considered the most common and lethal form of brain cancer. Despite tremendous progress in glioblastoma therapeutics, the profound intra- and inter-tumoral heterogeneity of glioblastoma tumors, the difficulty of agents to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the development of drug resistance as well as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) predominantly account for the failure of existing conventional and targeted therapies. Therefore, there is a growing necessity to decipher the complexity of the TME that promotes immunosuppression and to discover innovative stra

RNA modifications in cancer.

RNA modifications are emerging as critical cancer regulators that influence tumorigenesis and progression. Key modifications, such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and 5-methylcytosine (m5C), are implicated in various cellular processes. These modifications are regulated by proteins that write, erase, and read RNA and modulate RNA stability, splicing, translation, and degradation. Recent studies have highlighted their roles in metabolic reprogramming, signaling pathways, and cell cycle control, which are essential for tumor proliferation and survival. Despite these scientific advances, the precise

Strategies to Improve Sensitivity to Radiotherapy in Pediatric Solid Tumors.

The primary goal in the treatment of pediatric malignancies is to maintain effective cancer control while minimizing toxicities and late effects. Radiotherapy is a component of standard therapy against many pediatric cancers, but tumor cell DNA damage repair mechanisms and the hypoxic tumor microenvironment may limit the effectiveness of this modality. Additionally, irradiated cancer cells often acquire resistance to radiotherapy that permits cancer cell survival or stimulates tumor regrowth after treatment, further limiting the efficacy of radiotherapy.
