Compartment-specific PPARδ activity controls the outcome of cancer-immune cell competition and immunotherapy efficacy

These findings identify compartment-specific PPARδ activity as a targetable driver of immune cell fitness that can be harnessed to improve outcomes in immunotherapy-resistant tumors. Therapeutically, PPARδ-activated CD8 + T cells sensitize immunotherapy-resistant microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer to checkpoint blockade in mice, and pharmacological or genetic PPARδ activation enhances human chimeric antigen receptor T cell function.

Spatial transcriptomics in immune-mediated necrotising myopathy uncovers a specific necrotic signature related to immune-driven fibrosis

In conclusion, IMNM necrotic muscle areas are linked to a specific SFRP4-expressing fibroblast subtype interacting with macrophages, potentially driving the pathological muscle phenotype and contributing to inflammation, fibro-fatty replacement, and strength loss. These cells carried a strong proportion of IMNM-enriched pathological signatures, notably a complement-linked 'tumour-like' inflammatory fibroblast signature and a specific interferon (an immune-signaling protein) response, characterised by the expression of metallothioneins.

Population-scale reconstruction of menopause dynamics reveals a physiological cliff at the final menstrual period

These findings support a systemic, quantifiable view of menopause and provide a generalizable strategy for recovering hidden biological trajectories applicable to other transitions such as puberty or disease progression. Dysregulation began more than a decade before FMP.
