Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies have achieved clinical benefit, but most
'immune-cold'solid tumors are not responsive. The diversity of immune evasion mechanisms …

Somatic mutations in cancer cells can generate tumour-specific neoepitopes, which are
recognized by autologous T cells in the host. As neoepitopes are not subject to central …

Proteins are the main targets of most drugs; however, system-wide methods to monitor
protein activity and function are still underused in drug discovery. Novel biochemical …

Emerging data have shown that previously defined noncoding genomes might encode
peptides that bind human leukocyte antigen (HLA) as cryptic antigens to stimulate adaptive …

Cryptic promoters within transposable elements (TEs) can be transcriptionally reactivated in
tumors to create new TE-chimeric transcripts, which can produce immunogenic antigens. We …

To the Editor—Ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) has extended our understanding of the
translational 'vocabulary'of the human genome, uncovering thousands of open reading …

Epigenetic dysregulation is a defining feature of tumorigenesis that is implicated in immune
escape,. Here, to identify factors that modulate the immune sensitivity of cancer cells, we …

Removal of introns from messenger RNA precursors (pre-mRNA splicing) is an essential
step for the expression of most eukaryotic genes. Alternative splicing enables the regulated …

Epigenetic mechanisms play vital roles not only in cancer initiation and progression, but also
in the activation, differentiation and effector function (s) of immune cells. In this review, we …

In late 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a lipid-based mRNA
vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19, which has pushed this field to be more closely …
