    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.

    Type I and II PRMTs inversely regulate post-transcriptional intron detention through Sm and CHTOP methylation

    Maxim I Maron, Alyssa D Casill ... David Shechter
    Biochemical, transcriptomic, and proteomic analyses reveal that protein arginine methyltransferases post-transcriptionally regulate intron detention—introns that persist in nuclear polyadenylated RNA—through methylation of RNA splicing and processing factors.

    Mitochondrial genome sequencing of marine leukaemias reveals cancer contagion between clam species in the Seas of Southern Europe

    Daniel Garcia-Souto, Alicia L Bruzos ... Jose MC Tubio
    Genome sequencing analysis dissects the origins and evolution of cancer transmission between clam species in the Seas of Southern Europe.

    Crosstalk with keratinocytes causes GNAQ oncogene specificity in melanoma

    Oscar Urtatiz, Amanda Haage ... Catherine D Van Raamsdonk
    G alpha q/11 signaling can either promote or inhibit melanocyte growth through a reversible switch that is controlled by the microenvironment and that shapes the mutational diversity of melanoma subtypes.

    Quantitative analysis of tumour spheroid structure

    Alexander P Browning, Jesse A Sharp ... Matthew Simpson
    A novel quantitative framework to analyse the inner structure of tumour spheroids in terms of the mechanisms that underly growth.

    Hyaluronic acid fuels pancreatic cancer cell growth

    Peter K Kim, Christopher J Halbrook ... Costas A Lyssiotis
    Pancreatic cancers can utilize hyaluronic acid, an abundant extracellular matrix component in the tumor microenvironment, to fuel cancer cell metabolism and growth.

    Single-cell transcriptome analysis identifies a unique tumor cell type producing multiple hormones in ectopic ACTH and CRH secreting pheochromocytoma

    Xuebin Zhang, Penghu Lian ... Hanzhong Li
    A novel multi-hormones secreting chromaffin-like cell type was identified using single-cell RNA sequencing, suggesting the molecular mechanism of ectopic ACTH and CRH pheochromocytoma associated with Cushing’s syndrome.
