Subclinical cholestasis is a hallmark of gut dysbiosis causing resistance to cancer immunotherapy

Subclinical cholestasis is a hallmark of gut dysbiosis causing resistance to cancer immunotherapy
Mallard de La Varende et al. demonstrate that gut dysbiosis impairs tumor immunosurveillance through the gut-liver axis, causing subclinical cholestasis and immunotherapy resistance in tumors distant from gastrointestinal and hepatic tissues. Gut dysbiosis triggers plasma elevation of γ-glutamyl transferase, increase in TCDCA in humans (TMCA in mice), and drop in sMAdCAM-1 levels.

Rewiring natural killer cells for next-generation cancer therapies
Harnessing the cytotoxic potential of natural killer (NK) cells for cancer immunotherapy has proven challenging. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Biederstädt et al. and Nikolic et al. utilize genome-wide CRISPR screening to uncover novel regulators of NK cell function, paving the way for developing next-generation NK cell therapies.
