Refining prognostic assessment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: insights from multi-omics and single-cell analysis unveil SRM as a key target for regulating immunotherapy by Xiaojie Liang, Jia Guo, Baiwei Luo, Weixiang Lu, Qiumin Chen, Yeling Deng, Yunong Yang, Liang Wang

“…Bulk and scRNA-seq analyses indicated that upregulation of SRM might mediate cold TME in DLBCL, potentially through suppressing immune activation pathways, promoting dendritic cells (DCs) transformation into tolerogenic DCs, and facilitating M2 polarization of macrophages. Finally, for eventual clinical translation, we integrated the model with other clinical features to develop a comprehensive database for DLBCL. …”
