    Signature-scoring methods developed for bulk samples are not adequate for cancer single-cell RNA sequencing data

    Nighat Noureen, Zhenqing Ye ... Siyuan Zheng
    Dropouts in single cell RNA sequencing data are associated with cell states and can affect gene signature scoring if methods do not account for them.

    Confined migration promotes cancer metastasis through resistance to anoikis and increased invasiveness

    Deborah Fanfone, Zhichong Wu ... Gabriel Ichim
    A biomechanical approach inducing confined cell migration reveals that mechanical stress has a profound effect on cancer cell survival.

    Extent, impact, and mitigation of batch effects in tumor biomarker studies using tissue microarrays

    Konrad H Stopsack, Svitlana Tyekucheva ... Lorelei A Mucci
    Tissue microarrays, a high-throughout approach to quantifying biomarkers used in hundreds of cancer studies every year, are susceptible to batch effects that can alter results but that are readily addressable.

    Intravital deep-tumor single-beam 3-photon, 4-photon, and harmonic microscopy

    Gert-Jan Bakker, Sarah Weischer ... Peter Friedl
    Infrared high-pulse-energy low-pulse-repetition-rate excitation advances deep intravital microscopy in strongly scattering tissues such as skin tumors and thick bone, thereby bringing previously inaccessible tumor areas in reach with subcellular resolution.

    Multiomic characterization of pancreatic cancer-associated macrophage polarization reveals deregulated metabolic programs driven by the GM-CSF–PI3K pathway

    Seth Boyer, Ho-Joon Lee ... Costas A Lyssiotis
    A multiomics, systems biology approach was used to define the metabolic and signaling programs that drive the fate and function of pancreatic tumor-associated macrophages.

    Functional CDKN2A assay identifies frequent deleterious alleles misclassified as variants of uncertain significance

    Hirokazu Kimura, Raymond M Paranal ... Nicholas J Roberts
    Over 40% of CDKN2A variants of uncertain significance identified in patients with pancreatic cancer are functionally deleterious and can be reclassified as likely pathogenic with implications for care of patients and their relatives.
