Combined genetic experiments and cellular trafficking assays in Drosophila and mammalian models uncover a new role of RAS-like GTPases in EGFR signalling activation during tissue regeneration and tumourigenesis through regulation of EGFR internalisation.

Tumor stiffness blocks T cell migration in tumors.

ARID1A deficiency in SWI/SNF complex promotes pancreatic tumor development by upregulating ALDH protein levels to effectively reduce cellular reactive oxygen species levels, leading to the significant attenuation of oncogenic KRAS-induced senescence.

A key Ras-driven signaling pathway stimulates the preferential translation of an effector, EPSTI1, that is both necessary and sufficient for the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-like phenotype in colorectal cancer cells.

A genome-wide in vivo CRISPR screen identifies an IL-20/IL20RA-mediated crosstalk between peritoneum mesothelial cells and ovarian cancer cells that promotes the formation of M1-like macrophages to prevent ovarian cancer metastasis.

Colon cancer cells disseminate and colonize distant organ sites along the invasion-metastasis cascade by transiently activating intermediate epithelial to mesenchymal transition states through distinct transcriptional trajectories.

Platinum chemotherapy resistance is a complex process involving multiple signalling pathways and a novel, non-genetic, cell cycle-dependent mechanism that promotes tumour regrowth and highlights potential complications for combination therapies in human lung adenocarcinoma.

PHAROH lncRNA is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and functions by sequestering the translational suppressor TIAR via a 71 nucleotide hairpin to regulate c-MYC translation.

The C terminal fusion partners of TAZ-CAMTA1, YAP-TFE3 and potentially other TAZ/YAP fusion proteins in cancer recruit epigenetic modifiers that modulate a baseline TEAD-based transcriptional program.

The endogenous 3′UTR does not regulate TP53 mRNA or protein level and the 3′UTR is repressive when used alone in reporters, but addition of the coding region has a dominant repressive effect.
