A multi-step filtering pipeline for human read removal enhances detection of Fusobacterium in WGS datasets with immunohistochemical confirmation in mucinous rectal cancer. The study of tumour-associated microbiomes using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has attracted considerable attention, but microbial signal detection remains controversial due to host contamination and ...

Humanized glioblastoma patient-derived orthotopic xenografts recreate a locally immunosuppressed human immune ecosystem amenable to immunotherapeutic modulation Immune-based strategies have so far failed to demonstrate clinical benefit in glioblastoma (GBM), largely due to the profound immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). To achieve more predictive...

Integrated multiplex analysis of cell death regulators in stage II colorectal cancer suggests patients with ‘persister’ cell profiles fail to benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy Objective Inducing tumour cell apoptosis is a primary objective of chemotherapy but, to date, there are no validated biomarkers of apoptosis sensitivity or resistance. Our objective was to image multi...
