    Transient external force induces phenotypic reversion of malignant epithelial structures via nitric oxide signaling

    Benjamin L Ricca, Gautham Venugopalan ... Daniel A Fletcher
    In a 3D culture model of breast epithelium, application of a short-timescale compression to single malignant cells promotes the long-timescale development of polarized, growth-arrested structures.

    Non-invasive detection of urothelial cancer through the analysis of driver gene mutations and aneuploidy

    Simeon U Springer, Chung-Hsin Chen ... George J Netto
    The creation of a non-invasive assay for detecting urothelial cancer could have a profound impact on how we find and treat the disease.

    Explosive mutation accumulation triggered by heterozygous human Pol ε proofreading-deficiency is driven by suppression of mismatch repair

    Karl P Hodel, Richard de Borja ... Zachary F Pursell
    When mismatch repair is compromised heterozygous loss of Pol ε proofreading is sufficient to drive a subset of the observed clinical characteristics of Pol ε tumors.

    Tumor initiating cells induce Cxcr4-mediated infiltration of pro-tumoral macrophages into the brain

    Kelda Chia, Julie Mazzolini ... Dirk Sieger
    Pre-neoplastic cells in the brain release SDF1, which mediates an immediate infiltration of macrophages that differentiate into microglia-like cells and promote proliferation of pre-neoplastic cells.

    LIPG signaling promotes tumor initiation and metastasis of human basal-like triple-negative breast cancer

    Pang-Kuo Lo, Yuan Yao ... Qun Zhou
    LIPG, a lipoprotein lipase, executes its oncogenic function in human basal-like triple-negative breast cancer through its functional involvement in DTX3L-ISG15 signaling, an interferon-related pathway that regulates protein functionality by ISGylation.

    Differential requirements of androgen receptor in luminal progenitors during prostate regeneration and tumor initiation

    Chee Wai Chua, Nusrat J Epsi ... Michael M Shen
    Analyses of genetically engineered mouse models reveal the androgen receptor-independent properties of a luminal stem/progenitor cell in the prostate epithelium, and its ability to serve as a cell of origin for castration-resistant prostate cancer.

    MELK expression correlates with tumor mitotic activity but is not required for cancer growth

    Christopher J Giuliano, Ann Lin ... Jason M Sheltzer
    Cancer cells can grow in vitro and in vivo in the absence of maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK).
