    Reproducibility in Cancer Biology: Pseudogenes, RNAs and new reproducibility norms

    George A Calin
    The partial success of a study to reproduce experiments that linked pseudogenes and cancer proves that understanding RNA networks is more complicated than expected.

    Differential expression of MAGEA6 toggles autophagy to promote pancreatic cancer progression

    Yiu Huen Tsang, Yumeng Wang ... Kenneth L Scott
    An unrecognized regulation on MAGEA protein stability promotes pancreatic cancer progression via manipulating autophagy and may impact the clinical utility of MAGEA-targeted immunotherapy.

    GPC1 specific CAR-T cells eradicate established solid tumor without adverse effects and synergize with anti-PD-1 Ab

    Daiki Kato, Tomonori Yaguchi ... Yutaka Kawakami
    The safety and strong antitumor effects of GPC1-specific CAR-T cells against GPC1-expressing solid tumors were demonstrated by using both syngeneic and xenogeneic mouse models.

    Drosophila TRIM32 cooperates with glycolytic enzymes to promote cell growth

    Simranjot Bawa, David S Brooks ... Erika R Geisbrecht
    TRIM32-mediated glycolytic flux generates precursors that are utilized for biomass production in non-dividing muscle, brain and tumor cells, demonstrating a universal metabolic function for TRIM32 in cell growth.

    SLAMF6​ deficiency augments tumor killing and skews toward an effector phenotype revealing it as a novel T cell checkpoint

    Emma Hajaj, Galit Eisenberg ... Michal Lotem
    SLAMF6 is an inhibitory checkpoint of T cells, the lack of which leads to better tumor control, suggesting a new immunotherapy target.

    Membrane interactions of the globular domain and the hypervariable region of KRAS4b define its unique diffusion behavior

    Debanjan Goswami, De Chen ... Thomas Turbyville
    Compared to other isoforms of RAS, KRAS4b has unique membrane diffusion behavior related to its biology, and the two major domains of the protein both contribute to this diffusion behavior.

    Functional heterogeneity of lymphocytic patterns in primary melanoma dissected through single-cell multiplexing

    Francesca Maria Bosisio, Asier Antoranz ... Joost van den Oord
    Multiplexing and digital analysis of melanoma tissue describe functionally the microenvironment associated with brisk/non-brisk infiltrates and expose the functional incongruences of this morphological classification currently in use for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

    Loss of Kat2a enhances transcriptional noise and depletes acute myeloid leukemia stem-like cells

    Ana Filipa Domingues, Rashmi Kulkarni ... Cristina Pina
    Histone acetyl-transferase Kat2a preserves leukemia stem cells through frequent transcriptional firing of metabolic and regulatory gene promoters and maintenance of a largely invariant self-renewal program.

    Understanding the glioblastoma immune microenvironment as basis for the development of new immunotherapeutic strategies

    Ana Rita Pombo Antunes, Isabelle Scheyltjens ... Jo A Van Ginderachter
    The heterogeneity of immune cell types in glioblastoma tumors depends on the tumor's genetic make-up and treatment status and is an incompletely mined source of novel therapeutic targets.
