    Serum, cell-free, HPV-human DNA junction detection and HPV typing for predicting and monitoring cervical cancer recurrence

    Anne R Van Arsdale, Olga Meshcheryakova ... Jack Lenz
    HPV-human DNA junction detection in serum cell-free DNA unambiguously identifies tumor genetic-signatures of integrated viral DNA from HPV-induced cancers and could be useful for recurrence prediction and monitoring residual disease.

    Slap restricts oncogenic Src-family kinase signaling to maintain colonic epithelial homeostasis

    Dana Naim, Zouheir Houhou ... Serge Roche
    Src-like adaptor protein (SLAP) preserves intestinal epithelial homeostasis by restraining Src-family kinase signaling, revealing a non-genetic mechanism limiting colorectal tumor initiation.
