CHEK2 and central nervous system cancer: Our previous study identified Checkpoint Kinase 2 (Chek2) as the key driver of CD8+ T cell resistance in mouse glioma through an in vivo CRISPR screen and demonstrated that Chk2 inhibition, combined with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, significantly enhanced CD8+ T cell-mediated tumor killing and improved survival in preclinical model.
