  This important research uses complementary CRISPR screening strategies to reveal novel pathways that prevent T cells from killing tumor cells. The evidence presented to support the claims is solid, although some additional assays defining the features of these novel pathways and their clinical relevance are still required. Overall, this work will be of broad interest to immunologists, cancer biologists, and those interested in cell adhesion and cell-cell communication.

  eLife assessment

  This work examines a role for altered splicing in pancreatic tumorigenesis by interrogating effects of a specific mutation in the Sf3b splicing factor in pancreatic organoid and cell line growth primarily, with some in vivo work also performed. There is significant potential in the study but there is a concern about the lack of in vivo validation of claims that are most relevant to metastatic progression and the focus on one specific mechanism at the expense of other possible effects on splicing of factors important for disease progression.
