Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer-associated fibroblasts promote an immunosuppressive microenvironment through the induction and accumulation of protumoral macrophages.

TL;DR: It is indicated that CAFs play important roles in shaping the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment in OSCC by inducing the protumoral phenotype of TAMs andTherapeutic strategies to reverse CAF-mediated Immunosuppression need to be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic significance of amino-acid transporter expression (LAT1, ASCT2, and xCT) in surgically resected tongue cancer

TL;DR: L-type amino-acid transporter 1 and ASCT2 can serve as a significant prognostic factor for predicting worse outcome after surgical treatment and may have an important role in the development and aggressiveness of tongue cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunosuppressive activity of CD14+ HLA-DR- cells in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

TL;DR: The data suggest that CD14+ HLA‐DR− cells act as potent immunosuppressive cells and particularly contribute to tumor escape from the host immune system in patients with SCCHN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunosuppressive activity of cancer-associated fibroblasts in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that CAFs collaborated with tumor cells in the TME to establish an immunosuppressive network that facilitated tumor evasion from immunological destruction.
