    Inhibition of intracellular lipolysis promotes human cancer cell adaptation to hypoxia

    Xiaodong Zhang, Alicia M Saarinen ... Jun Liu
    The survival and growth of solid tumor cells in hypoxia is dependent on fatty acid storage in triglyceride lipid droplets promoted by HIG2.

    A bulky glycocalyx fosters metastasis formation by promoting G1 cell cycle progression

    Elliot C Woods, FuiBoon Kai ... Carolyn R Bertozzi
    Mucins, long associated with cancer aggression, remodel the cancer glycocalyx in a way that promotes proliferation in the metastatic site by enhancing integrin-mediated adhesion and thus driving cell cycle progression.

    Jak2-mediated phosphorylation of Atoh1 is critical for medulloblastoma growth

    Tiemo J Klisch, Anna Vainshtein ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Aberrant phosphorylation of tyrosine 78 on Atoh1 via Jak2 is responsible for sonic hedgehog type medulloblastoma growths in vivo.

    Bladder-cancer-associated mutations in RXRA activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors to drive urothelial proliferation

    Angela M Halstead, Chiraag D Kapadia ... Vivek K Arora
    Bladder-cancer-associated RXRA mutations were found to stimulate urothelial proliferation through a mechanism susceptible to small molecule inhibitors of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors, credentialing a new class of targetable drivers of bladder cancer.

    Simultaneous enumeration of cancer and immune cell types from bulk tumor gene expression data

    Julien Racle, Kaat de Jonge ... David Gfeller
    A novel method predicts cancer and immune cell types from bulk tumor gene expression data with the ability to consider uncharacterized and possibly highly variable cell types, which is validated in human genome.

    The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E harnesses hyaluronan production to drive its malignant activity

    Hiba Ahmad Zahreddine, Biljana Culjkovic-Kraljacic ... Katherine LB Borden
    The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E induces hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesis to drive cancer metastasis which can be reversed following eIF4E inhibition and HA degradation.

    Pharmacological augmentation of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) protects against paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy

    Peter M LoCoco, April L Risinger ... William P Clarke
    Stimulation of the rate-limiting enzyme in the NAD salvage pathway protected against neurotoxicity and subsequent peripheral neuropathy associated with the widely utilized anticancer drug, paclitaxel.

    Epithelial-Myeloid cell crosstalk regulates acinar cell plasticity and pancreatic remodeling in mice

    Yaqing Zhang, Wei Yan ... Marina Pasca di Magliano
    In the pancreas, reciprocal interactions between epithelial cells and myeloid cells determine the balance between tissue repair and carcinogenesis by regulating acinar cell plasticity through differential activation of EGFR/MAPK signaling.

    53BP1 and BRCA1 control pathway choice for stalled replication restart

    Yixi Xu, Shaokai Ning ... Dongyi Xu
    53BP1 and BRCA1 antagonistically control a temporal choice of two distinct pathways to restart stalled replication forks in a DNA double stand repair-independent manner.

    Diagnostic potential for a serum miRNA neural network for detection of ovarian cancer

    Kevin M Elias, Wojciech Fendler ... Dipanjan Chowdhury
    Application of machine learning to serum miRNA profiles generated through next generation sequencing identifies a biologically relevant miRNA signature which can be deployed as a qPCR test to assist the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer.
