Coagulome and the tumor microenvironment: an actionable interplay

Antoine Galmiche et al.

Summary: Tumors often cause a hypercoagulable state that promotes blood clotting complications, including venous thromboembolism. Recent research has shown the connection between coagulome and tumor microenvironment, which is important for studying biomarkers and the interaction between blood vessels and tumor parenchyma. Understanding the mutual influence of the coagulome and tumor microenvironment offers exciting prospects for predicting blood clotting complications and improving cancer treatment effectiveness.

Microfluidic tumor-on-a-chip model to evaluate the role of tumor environmental stress on NK cell exhaustion

Jose M. Ayuso et al.

Summary: Solid tumors create a suppressive environment that impairs the cytotoxic capacity of NK cells, leading to compromised surveillance and tolerance of tumors. NK cell exhaustion persists for a period of time after removal, but can be alleviated by the addition of checkpoint inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents.

On-Chip Replication of Extremely Early-Stage Tumor Behavior

Chengpan Li et al.

Summary: This study replicated tumor progression at an extremely early stage on a microfluidic chip and revealed the impact of tumor microenvironment on tumor behaviors. It found that smaller tumors were more aggressive, with endotheliocytes and fibroblasts significantly accelerating both proliferation and migration of tumor cells. This work provides new insights for understanding tumor progression at the early stage and suggests potential new ideas for tumor therapy.
