    Stereospecific lasofoxifene derivatives reveal the interplay between estrogen receptor alpha stability and antagonistic activity in ESR1 mutant breast cancer cells

    David J Hosfield, Sandra Weber ... Sean W Fanning
    Effective antiestrogens engage a new structural interaction to improve therapeutic antagonism in hormone-resistant breast cancer cells expressing Y537S estrogen receptor alpha.

    Individualized discovery of rare cancer drivers in global network context

    Iurii Petrov, Andrey Alexeyenko
    Method NEAdriver employs knowledge from global networks to predict novel cancer driver genes in an individualized manner, which is done by accounting for mutations’ co-occurrence in each tumor genome and rigorous statistical evaluation.

    Short senolytic or senostatic interventions rescue progression of radiation-induced frailty and premature ageing in mice

    Edward Fielder, Tengfei Wan ... Satomi Miwa
    Late effects of radiation therapy in mice can be prevented by treatment with either senolytics navitoclax or quercetin plus dasatinib or the senostatic metformin.

    CREB5 reprograms FOXA1 nuclear interactions to promote resistance to androgen receptor-targeting therapies

    Justin H Hwang, Rand Arafeh ... William C Hahn
    A comprehensive molecular interrogation of CREB5 interactions identified changes in protein and chromatin interactions of FOXA1 that promoted therapy resistance in prostate cancer cells.

    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.
