Studies have suggested that only around 30% of esophageal adenocarcinoma patients show a pathologic complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Multidimensional profiling of esophageal adenocarcinoma prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment was used to identify mechanisms and biomarkers of response. Patient response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy correlated with active preexisting immunity. The cover image shows spatial proteomics profiling of a formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded esophageal adenocarcinoma biopsy to evaluate tumor epithelial cells (PanCK, green), macrophages (CD68, yellow), and T cells (CD3, red); nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue).

A Nonconserved Histidine Residue on KRAS Drives Paralog Selectivity of the KRASG12D Inhibitor MRTX1133
The nonconserved H95 residue on KRAS is required for the selectivity of the KRASG12D inhibitor MRTX1133 and can be exploited for the development of pan-KRAS inhibitors.

CD36 Drives Metastasis and Relapse in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
CD36 promotes blast migration and extramedullary disease in acute myeloid leukemia and represents a critical target that can be exploited for clinical prognosis and patient treatment.
Breast Cancer Mutations HER2V777L and PIK3CAH1047R Activate the p21–CDK4/6–Cyclin D1 Axis to Drive Tumorigenesis and Drug Resistance
In HER2-mutated breast cancer, PIK3CA mutation activates p21–CDK4/6–cyclin D1 signaling to drive resistance to HER2-targeted therapies, which can be overcome using CDK4/6 inhibitors.
Cancer Immunology
Activation of the cGAS/STING Axis in Genome-Damaged Hematopoietic Cells Does Not Impact Blood Cell Formation or Leukemogenesis
Loss of cGAS/STING signaling does not impact DNA damage–driven leukemogenesis or alter steady-state, perturbed or malignant hematopoiesis, indicating that the cGAS/STING axis is not a crucial antioncogenic mechanism in the hematopoietic system.
Preexisting Immunity Drives the Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Multidimensional profiling of pretreatment esophageal adenocarcinoma shows patient response to nCT is correlated with active preexisting immunity and indicates molecular pathways of resistance that may be targeted to improve clinical outcomes.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
Targeting CaMKK2 Inhibits Actin Cytoskeletal Assembly to Suppress Cancer Metastasis
CaMKK2 regulates actin cytoskeletal dynamics to promote tumor invasiveness and can be inhibited to suppress metastasis of breast and ovarian cancer, indicating CaMKK2 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy to arrest disease progression.
SENP1 Decreases RNF168 Phase Separation to Promote DNA Damage Repair and Drug Resistance in Colon Cancer
Sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 1 decreases RNF168 SUMOylation and liquid–liquid phase separation to promote DNA damage repair, safeguarding genomic integrity and driving chemotherapy resistance.
