A research team led by Dan Theodorescu, the director of Cedars-Sinai Cancer in Los Angeles, is using AI to isolate more effective biomarkers than the CA 19-9 test to track & predict pancreatic cancer progression. h/t Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer 💜 #pancsm. letswinpc.org/research/ai-fi…

Thank you Journal of Clinical Investigation for this opportunity to write this review focusing on epigenetic regulation of tumor immunity.



Congratulations, Kun-Hsing Yu !


Here is our latest paper now online Leukemia Journal. nature.com/articles/s4137…

Excited to share our paper just accepted by Journal of Clinical Investigation. We reveal a new macrophage-microglia interplay in GBM and develop a powerful therapeutic approach targeting them. jci.org/articles/view/…



Congratulations to our Director Dan Theodorescu!!

Happy to share our work out at Journal of Clinical Investigation We identified a new tumor-macrophage interaction contributing to GBM progression/immunosuppression and found that targeting the symbiosis sensitizes GBM to immunotherapy. Huge thanks to editors and reviewers. jci.org/articles/view/…

Improving immunotherapy in glioblastoma! Peiwen Chen & team Cleveland Clinic discover targeting legumain—which promotes infiltration of tumor-associated macrophages via the GSK3β/STAT3 pathway—has anti-tumor effects and improves immunotherapy in preclinical GBM models:

Disrupting cell communication in glioblastoma— Peiwen Chen and team Cleveland Clinic discover GPNMB mediates bidirectional communication between GBM stem cells and tumor-associated macrophages and microglia: insight.jci.org/articles/view/…


A great collaboration with my friend Jun Qi Lab. We screened a small molecule library targeting epigenetic regulators curated by Jun’s team using our dual reporter system. The ensuing mechanistic work required innovative chemical and rigorous molecular biology.
