Dual-action compounds unleash a one-two punch against tuberculosis Cell Chem. Bio. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Wendy Le Mouëllic, Yannick Poquet, Olivier Neyrolles
In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Gries et al.1 employ an innovative screening approach to identify anti-tuberculosis compounds with dual modes of action: anti-virulence against the type VII secretion system ESX-1 and enhanced ethionamide efficacy. These compounds hold promise for developing multi-target tuberculosis drugs with potential clinical applications.

METTL3: Melting the tumor microenvironment for improved immunotherapy Cell Chem. Bio. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Longfei Gao, Lei Ding
The tumor microenvironment (TME) dictates the outcome of cancer immunotherapy. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Yu et al.1 report that targeting Mettl3 leads to a more inflamed, “hot” TME and effective anti-PD-1 therapy. This study points to a new target in remodeling the TME for improved immunotherapy.

SARS-CoV-2 resistance to monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule drugs Cell Chem. Bio. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Sho Iketani, David D. Ho
Over four years have passed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The scientific response has been rapid and effective, with many therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and small molecules developed for clinical use. However, given the ability for viruses to become resistant to antivirals, it is perhaps no surprise that the field has identified resistance to nearly all of these compounds. Here,

Multiparatopic antibodies induce targeted downregulation of programmed death-ligand 1 Cell Chem. Bio. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-27 Seth D. Ludwig, Bunyarit Meksiriporn, Jiacheng Tan, Rakeeb Kureshi, Akhilesh Mishra, Kyle J. Kaeo, Angela Zhu, Georgia Stavrakis, Stephen J. Lee, David.J. Schodt, Michael J. Wester, Dhiraj Kumar, Keith A. Lidke, Andrea L. Cox, Helen M. Dooley, Sridhar Nimmagadda, Jamie B. Spangler
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) drives inhibition of antigen-specific T cell responses through engagement of its receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) on activated T cells. Overexpression of these immune checkpoint proteins in the tumor microenvironment has motivated the design of targeted antibodies that disrupt this interaction. Despite clinical success of these antibodies, response rates remain low
