    Mitochondrial protein carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine tailing promotes human glioblastoma growth by regulating mitochondrial function

    Bei Zhang, Ting Cai ... Zhihao Wu
    The carboxyl-terminal alanine-threonine-tailed protein ATP5α helps glioblastoma mitochondria maintain a high membrane potential and keep the permeability transition pore closed, thereby promoting tumor growth and increasing resistance to apoptosis.

    Chemotherapy: Lipid balance and chemoresistance in cancer cells

    Kaori Kanemaru, Yoshikazu Nakamura
    A shift in the balance between two lipids – cholesterol and sphingomyelin – makes hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal cancer cells less responsive to certain chemotherapy drugs.

    Replication stress-inducing ELF3 upregulation promotes BRCA1-deficient breast tumorigenesis in luminal progenitors

    Jiadong Zhou, Xiao Albert Zhou ... Jiadong Wang
    A replication stress–ELF3 axis enables luminal progenitor transformation in BRCA1-deficient breast cancer by reducing genomic instability and promoting progenitor identity.

    Sex differences in bile acid homeostasis and excretion underlie the disparity in liver cancer incidence between males and females

    Megan E Patton, Sherwin Kelekar ... Sayeepriyadarshini Anakk
    Transcriptomic and metabolite analysis reveal sex differences in circulation and excretion of bile acids in a mouse- model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and the identified female-specific gene profile correlates with better HCC survival.

    Therapeutic benefits of maintaining CDK4/6 inhibitors and incorporating CDK2 inhibitors beyond progression in breast cancer

    Jessica Armand, Sungsoo Kim ... Hee Won Yang
    Maintaining CDK4/6 inhibition constrains drug‑resistant breast tumors by delaying cell‑cycle entry, and adding CDK2 inhibition further deepens control to guide post‑progression therapy.

    Breast Cancer: Slowing the growth of drug-resistant tumors

    Yingyi Zhang, Qianying Lu
    Using drugs that inhibit enzymes called CDK4/6 and CDK2 extends the G1 phase of the cell cycle and helps to slow the growth of drug-resistant breast cancer.
