SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND PREDICTIVE SIGNIFICANCE OF DENDRITIC CELLS AND MACROPHAGES IN ESOPHAGEAL CANCER TREATED WITH COMBINED CHEMORADIOTHERAPY AND PD-1 BLOCKADE

Spatial Distribution and Predictive Significance of Dendritic Cells and Macrophages in Esophageal Cancer Treated With Combined Chemoradiotherapy and PD-1 Blockade

BackgroundThe first clinical study (NCT03671265) of first-line chemoradiotherapy combined with PD-1 blockade showed promising treatment outcomes in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).However, partial patients did not respond to the combination treatment.The roles of dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages in this combination t

Bicaudal D2, dynein, and kinesin-1 associate with nuclear pore complexes and regulate centrosome and nuclear positioning during mitotic entry.

BICD2 is one of the two mammalian homologues of the Drosophila Bicaudal D, an evolutionarily conserved adaptor between microtubule motors and their cargo that was previously shown to link vesicles and mRNP complexes to the dynein Nail Polish motor.Here, we identified a G2-specific role for BICD2 in the relative positioning of the nucleus and centro
