    Inflammation-induced IgE promotes epithelial hyperplasia and tumour growth

    Mark David Hayes, Sophie Ward ... Jessica Strid
    Natural IgE supports epithelial cell growth and differentiation in healthy skin, but during chronic tissue inflammation, IgE drives tumour outgrowth of epithelial cells harbouring oncogenic mutations.

    MYC and Twist1 cooperate to drive metastasis by eliciting crosstalk between cancer and innate immunity

    Renumathy Dhanasekaran, Virginie Baylot ... Dean W Felsher
    MYC and Twist1 drive metastasis by a novel non-cell-autonomous transcriptional mechanism of eliciting a cytokinome that mediates the crosstalk between cancer cells and macrophages, and its therapeutic blockade inhibits metastasis.

    Axon-like protrusions promote small cell lung cancer migration and metastasis

    Dian Yang, Fangfei Qu ... Julien Sage
    In small cell lung cancer, the transition from a neuroendocrine state to a more neuronal state endows these cancer cells with increased migration and metastatic potential.

    Siglec1-expressing subcapsular sinus macrophages provide soil for melanoma lymph node metastasis

    Rohit Singh, Beom K Choi
    When pioneer metastatic cells enter a sentinel lymph node through afferent lymphatics subcapsular sinus, macrophages provide them soil to proliferate and colonize lymph node.

    Genome-wide CRISPR screening reveals genetic modifiers of mutant EGFR dependence in human NSCLC

    Hao Zeng, Johnny Castillo-Cabrera ... Feng Cong
    Functional genomic screening reveals new synthetic lethality with and modes of resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) targeted therapy in EGFR-mutant human lung cancer.

    Reproducibility in Cancer Biology: Rethinking research into metastasis

    Peter Friedl
    The partial success of an attempt to repeat findings in cancer biology highlights the need to improve study designs for preclinical research into metastasis and the targeting of cancer cells.

    Improving drug discovery using image-based multiparametric analysis of the epigenetic landscape

    Chen Farhy, Santosh Hariharan ... Alexey V Terskikh
    A novel phenotypic screening platform based on immunofluorescent imaging of histone modifications enables accurate identification of cell fates and environmental perturbations.

    A curative combination cancer therapy achieves high fractional cell killing through low cross-resistance and drug additivity

    Adam C Palmer, Christopher Chidley, Peter K Sorger
    Drugs in a curative chemotherapy regimen are independently effective and resisted by different mechanisms, so cancer cells have little chance of surviving all drugs, and this benefit occurs without synergistic interactions.

    Philosophy of Biology: Characterizing causality in cancer

    Elena Rondeau, Nicolas Larmonier ... Andreas Bikfalvi
    Ideas about causality from philosophy can help scientists to better understand how cancerous tumors grow and spread in the body.
