    Cancers adapt to their mutational load by buffering protein misfolding stress

    Susanne Tilk, Judith Frydman ... Dmitri A Petrov
    High mutational load tumors mitigate effects from protein-damaging mutations by up-regulating complexes that buffer against misfolding stress, revealing therapeutic vulnerabilities and suggesting disrupted proteostasis is a hallmark of somatic evolution.
