🧵1/ New in @Cancer_Cell: Our lab discovered that Th17 cells must team up with B cells to eliminate tumors, and prevent it from coming back. 🔗 Read: www.cell.com/cancer-cell/... 🧬This unexpected immune duo sparks tumor immunity. 🖼️Image: See schematic Th17/B cell antitumor action!

Important lab bench to clinical trial study led by Bassel El-Rayes, MD and many other colleagues on a new combination chemo regimen in pancreatic cancer. Honored to collaborate in this effort! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Mechanism of enhancing chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with paricalcitol and hydroxychloroquine
Nagaraju et al. have identified that paricalcitol (P) plus hydroxychloroquine (H) potentiates the efficacy of gemcitabine (G) in PDAC. GPH treatment induces ER stress and autophagy with M1 polarization and T cell activation. These findings in PDAC patient-derived data highlight the potential translational impact of GPH therapy in improving clinical outcomes.

Beautiful work! More data supporting relevance of functionally specialized myeloid cells impacting tumor immunogenicity & distinct spatial niches where this occurs. We MUST incorporate rational strategies to harness myeloid plasticity if we want to successfully deploy immunotherapy for solid tumors!
