    SATB2 induction of a neural crest mesenchyme-like program drives melanoma invasion and drug resistance

    Maurizio Fazio, Ellen van Rooijen ... Leonard I Zon
    A genetic discovery screen for epigenetic factors accelerating melanoma development in vivo identifies SATB2 as a driver of tumor invasion and resistance to FDA-approved BRAF-targeted inhibitor Vemurafenib.

    Oncogenic BRAF disrupts thyroid morphogenesis and function via twist expression

    Viviana Anelli, Jacques A Villefranc ... Yariv Houvras
    Transformation mediated by oncogenic BRAF requires transcriptional activation of TWIST at the earliest stage of neoplastic transformation.

    Mutationally-activated PI3’-kinase-α promotes de-differentiation of lung tumors initiated by the BRAFV600E oncoprotein kinase

    J Edward van Veen, Michael Scherzer ... Martin McMahon
    Two of the most commonly mutated growth factor pathways induce a deadly feature of lung adenocarcinoma.

    Three-dimensional growth of breast cancer cells potentiates the anti-tumor effects of unacylated ghrelin and AZP-531

    CheukMan C Au, John B Furness ... Kristy A Brown
    3D culture of breast cancer in biologically relevant ECM potentiates the growth-inhibitory effects of unacylated ghrelin and AZP-531, and clinical response may be predictable based on a MAPK gene signature.

    RNF43 inhibits WNT5A-driven signaling and suppresses melanoma invasion and resistance to the targeted therapy

    Tomasz Radaszkiewicz, Michaela Nosková ... Vítězslav Bryja
    RNF43 interacts with receptor complexes of the Wnt/PCP signaling and its enzymatic activity results in the reduced cells sensitivity to WNT5A what translates in melanoma into decreased invasive properties and increased response to targeted therapies of this skin cancer.

    Autophagy inhibition overcomes multiple mechanisms of resistance to BRAF inhibition in brain tumors

    Jean M Mulcahy Levy, Shadi Zahedi ... Andrew Thorburn
    Pre-clinical and patient data show that inhibition of autophagy with an approved, inexpensive, well-tolerated drug can overcome resistance to BRAFV600E inhibition in multiple brain tumor subtypes with different resistance mechanisms.

    Functional visualization of NK cell-mediated killing of metastatic single tumor cells

    Hiroshi Ichise, Shoko Tsukamoto ... Michiyuki Matsuda
    Live imaging of the duel of an NK cell versus a metastatic cancer cell on pulmonary epithelial cells reveals a novel survival tactics adopted by cancer cells.
