    RadD from Fusobacterium nucleatum engages NKp46 to promote antitumor cytotoxicity

    Ahmed Rishiq, Johanna Galski ... Ofer Mandelboim
    RadD recognition by NKp46 converts Fusobacterium nucleatum from an immune-evasive pathogen into a trigger of natural killer cell-mediated tumor control in a context-dependent manner.

    PTEN restrains SHH medulloblastoma growth through cell autonomous and nonautonomous mechanisms

    Zhimin Lao, Salsabiel El Nagar ... Alexandra L Joyner
    Homozygous but not heterozygous loss of Pten in sporadic mouse models of SHH-medulloblastoma greatly accelerates tumor formation, not metastasis, through increased survival of differentiated cells and possibly decreased infiltrating macrophages.

    Loss of ZNRF3/RNF43 unleashes EGFR in cancer

    Fei Yue, Amy T Ku ... Yi Li
    Genetic and biochemical analyses show that loss of the E3 ubiquitin ligases ZNRF3 and RNF43 enhances EGFR signaling by impairing EGFR ubiquitination and degradation, revealing a new cancer-promoting mechanism.
