    Inflammatory response in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells triggered by activating SHP2 mutations evokes blood defects

    Maja Solman, Sasja Blokzijl-Franke ... Jeroen den Hertog
    The transcriptomes of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells of human juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia patients and a zebrafish model for Noonan syndrome reveal a common inflammatory response, which may have a causal role in associated myeloproliferative neoplasm.

    FER-mediated phosphorylation and PIK3R2 recruitment on IRS4 promotes AKT activation and tumorigenesis in ovarian cancer cells

    Yanchun Zhang, Xuexue Xiong ... Gaofeng Fan
    Beyond its well-accepted function in metastasis, non-receptor tyrosine kinase FER also controls ovarian tumor cell proliferation through FER-IRS4-AKT signaling axis, making itself as a promising druggable target for the disease.

    Detection of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in patients with neurofibromatosis using aneuploidy and mutation identification in plasma

    Austin K Mattox, Christopher Douville ... Chetan Bettegowda
    Detection of aneuploidy and/or mutations in ctDNA may represent a promising approach to detecting patients with MPNST.

    Paracrine signalling between intestinal epithelial and tumour cells induces a regenerative programme

    Guillaume Jacquemin, Annabelle Wurmser ... Silvia Fre
    Studies of organoid morphogenesis, combined with proteomics and molecular profiling, identify the THBS1-YAP axis as a signalling mechanism that mediates paracrine communication between tumour cells and their wildtype epithelial neighbours.

    Cross-species analysis of LZTR1 loss-of-function mutants demonstrates dependency to RIT1 orthologs

    Antonio Cuevas-Navarro, Laura Rodriguez-Muñoz ... Pau Castel
    Biochemical and genetic analysis of the functional relationship between RIT1 and its regulatory protein, LZTR1, across various model organisms helps define the substrate specificity of LZTR1 for RAS GTPases.

    The oncoprotein BCL6 enables solid tumor cells to evade genotoxic stress

    Yanan Liu, Juanjuan Feng ... Xiufeng Pang
    Oncoprotein BCL6 confers tumor adaptive resistance to genotoxic stress through the IFN-BCL6-PTEN axis in solid tumors and presents a promising combinational target for chemo-sensitization.

    Quantifying chromosomal instability from intratumoral karyotype diversity using agent-based modeling and Bayesian inference

    Andrew R Lynch, Nicholas L Arp ... Mark E Burkard
    Chromosomal instability of cancer can be quantitatively measured by phylogenetic analysis of 200 tumor cells while using evolutionary principles to account for cellular selection.

    Protection of nascent DNA at stalled replication forks is mediated by phosphorylation of RIF1 intrinsically disordered region

    Sandhya Balasubramanian, Matteo Andreani ... Michela Di Virgilio
    Replication stress induces phosphorylation events within RIF1 intrinsically disordered region that are essential for RIF1's role in DNA replication fork protection.
