Recently, researchers have discovered that the presence of m<sup>6</sup>A modification can influence the interaction between tumor cells and immune cells and also play a role in regulating the expression of immune response-related genes. Additionally, m<sup>6</sup>A modification is intricately involved in the regulation of tumor immune evasion and drug resistance. Specifically, certain tumor cells can manipulate the gene expression through m<sup>6</sup>A modification to evade immune system attacks. Therefore, it might be possible to enhance tumor immune surveillance and improve the effectiveness of immune-based therapies by manipulating m<sup>6</sup>A modification. This review systematically discusses the role of m<sup>6</sup>A modification in tumor immunity, specifically highlighting its regulation of immune cells and immune-related genes in tumor cells.

Importantly, demographic events and various natural and cultural environments in Chinese frontier regions have shaped the genomic diversity of ethnic minorities via local adaptations. Thus, insights into the genetic diversity and adaptive evolution of these under-represented ethnic groups are crucial for understanding evolutionary scenarios and biomedical implications in East Asian populations. Here, we focus on ethnic minorities in Chinese frontier regions and review research advances regarding genomic diversity, genetic structure, population history, genetic admixture, and local adaptation. We first provide an overview of the extensive genetic diversity across populations in different Chinese frontier regions. Next, we summarize research progress regarding genetic ancestry, demographic history, the adaptive process, and the archaic identification of multiple ethnic minorities in different Chinese frontier regions. Finally, we discuss the gaps and opportunities in genomic studies of Chinese populations and the need for a more comprehensive understanding of genomic diversity and the evolution of populations of East Asian ancestry in the post-genomic era.</p>","PeriodicalId":21576,"journal":{"name":"Science China Life Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142792414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, several targeted drugs directed at ROR1 are undergoing clinical development, including monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T). Additionally, there are four small molecule inhibitors designed to bind to ROR1, presenting promising avenues for the development of PROTAC degraders targeting ROR1.
