Dual inhibition of MDMX and MDM2 as a therapeutic strategy in leukemia
10.1126/scitranslmed.aao3003 2018-04-11 The tumor suppressor p53 is often inactivated via its interaction with endogenous inhibitors mouse double minute 4 homolog (MDM4 or MDMX) or mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), which are frequently overexpressed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)... |

T cell–induced CSF1 promotes melanoma resistance to PD1 blockade
10.1126/scitranslmed.aan3311 2018-04-11 Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) is a key regulator of monocyte/macrophage differentiation that sustains the protumorigenic functions of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). We show that CSF1 is expressed in human melanoma, and patients with metastatic mela... |
