SMAD3-driven cell state transitions underpin immunoresistance in bladder cancer
Despite the clinical success of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy in a subset of patients with high-risk bladder cancer (BLCA), most tumors remain refractory to treatment. We hypothesized that immunotherapy resistance is encoded within the intrinsic signaling state of BLCA cells and arises through specific cell-state trans...
