Disruption of dendritic cell (DC) interstitial motility in the tumour microenvironment promotes immune evasion, and enhancement of DC interstitial motility offers a route for DC-centric immunotherapy.

The impact of synonymous mutations remains elusive. Here, the authors demonstrate that synonymous mutations can promote tumorigenesis by disrupting post-transcriptional m6A modification. The findings provide fresh insights into understanding the genotype-phenotype relationship in cancer and beyond.
