    Loss of FLCN-FNIP1/2 induces a non-canonical interferon response in human renal tubular epithelial cells

    Iris E Glykofridis, Jaco C Knol ... Rob MF Wolthuis
    Knocking out Folliculin (FLCN) in human renal epithelial cells activates STAT1/2-mediated gene expression, independent of interferon, uncovering a tissue-specific process potentially relevant in the cancer syndrome Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD).

    Human primed ILCPs support endothelial activation through NF-κB signaling

    Giulia Vanoni, Giuseppe Ercolano ... Sara Trabanelli
    Circulating human primed innate lymphoid cell precursors have the potential to functionally induce adhesion molecules' expression in endothelial cells and possibly support the immune cells' infiltration into the tumor site.

    Convergent organization of aberrant MYB complex controls oncogenic gene expression in acute myeloid leukemia

    Sumiko Takao, Lauren Forbes ... Alex Kentsis
    Definition of leukemia gene expression mechanisms reveals general principles of cancer gene control and offers a pharmacologic strategy for its therapeutic reprogramming.

    Tissue-autonomous immune response regulates stress signaling during hypertrophy

    Robert Krautz, Dilan Khalili, Ulrich Theopold
    The immune effector Drosomycin buffers stress signaling in hypertrophic salivary glands to inhibit their disintegration, detection by the cellular immune response, and promotes further overgrowth.

    Identification of PARP-7 substrates reveals a role for MARylation in microtubule control in ovarian cancer cells

    Lavanya H Palavalli Parsons, Sridevi Challa ... W Lee Kraus
    PARP-7 is a mono(ADP-ribosyl) transferase that directs an extensive ADP-ribosylated proteome to control microtubule stability, and regulate ovarian cancer cell growth and motility.

    SATB2 induction of a neural crest mesenchyme-like program drives melanoma invasion and drug resistance

    Maurizio Fazio, Ellen van Rooijen ... Leonard I Zon
    A genetic discovery screen for epigenetic factors accelerating melanoma development in vivo identifies SATB2 as a driver of tumor invasion and resistance to FDA-approved BRAF-targeted inhibitor Vemurafenib.

    Use of signals of positive and negative selection to distinguish cancer genes and passenger genes

    László Bányai, Maria Trexler ... László Patthy
    In contrast with earlier conclusions, negative selection has a major role in cancer evolution.

    Supervised mutational signatures for obesity and other tissue-specific etiological factors in cancer

    Bahman Afsari, Albert Kuo ... Cristian Tomasetti
    A supervised methodology for mutational signatures outperforms the current standard unsupervised approach revealing new tissue-dependent mutational signatures among which some for obesity.

    MITF reprograms the extracellular matrix and focal adhesion in melanoma

    Ramile Dilshat, Valerie Fock ... Eirikur Steingrimsson
    Analysis of knockout and knockdown melanoma cells and TCGA melanoma data shows that the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a major repressor of extracellular matrix (ECM) and focal adhesion genes.

    Single-cell chromatin accessibility profiling of glioblastoma identifies an invasive cancer stem cell population associated with lower survival

    Paul Guilhamon, Charles Chesnelong ... Mathieu Lupien
    Chromatin-based cancer stem cell heterogeneity typifies primary glioblastoma and includes an invasive subtype associated with a lower survival.
