FGFR3-altered bladder cancer features an immune-desert tumor microenvironment. Enhanced serine synthesis efflux from cancer cells with mutant FGFR3 shifts macrophages to an immune-inert phenotype. Reversing the macrophage phenotype holds promise for enhancing the efficacy of FGFR inhibitor erdafitinib in bladder cancer. The cover is an immunofluorescence image showing the infiltration of CD206+ (red) F4/80+ (green) cells in an FGFR3-altered tumor.

Cancer Biology
Topoisomerase 1 Inhibition in MYC-Driven Cancer Promotes Aberrant R-Loop Accumulation to Induce Synthetic Lethality
CRISPR screening reveals topoisomerase 1 as an immediately actionable vulnerability in cancers harboring MYC as a driver oncoprotein that can be targeted with clinically approved inhibitors.
Cancer Immunology
FGFR3 Alterations in Bladder Cancer Stimulate Serine Synthesis to Induce Immune-Inert Macrophages That Suppress T-cell Recruitment and Activation
Metabolic reprogramming of bladder cancer cells driven by mutant FGFR3 increases serine synthesis that suppresses macrophage immunostimulatory functions to generate an immunosuppressive TME, which can be overcome by targeting PI3K.
LILRB3 Modulates Acute Myeloid Leukemia Progression and Acts as an Effective Target for CAR T-cell Therapy
LILRB3 regulates differentiation and proliferation in acute myeloid leukemia and can be targeted with monoclonal antibodies and CAR T cells to suppress leukemia growth.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
Fructose-Induced mTORC1 Activation Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Progression through Inhibition of Autophagy
Fructose activates AMPK–mTORC1 signaling to inhibit autophagy-mediated cell death in pancreatic cancer cells caused by glucose deficiency, facilitating metabolic adaptation to the tumor microenvironment and supporting tumor growth.
Super Enhancer–Regulated LncRNA LINC01089 Induces Alternative Splicing of DIAPH3 to Drive Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis
LINC01089 is a super enhancer–driven long noncoding RNA that induces ERK signaling and epithelial–mesenchymal transition by regulating DIAPH3 alternative splicing that blocks N6-methyladenosine–mediated mRNA stabilization, establishing an epigenetic network that promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis.
Translational Cancer Biology
Genome-Wide CRISPR Screens Identify Multiple Synthetic Lethal Targets That Enhance KRASG12C Inhibitor Efficacy
Identification of synthetic lethal genes with KRASG12Ci using genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screening and credentialing of the ability of TEAD inhibition to enhance KRASG12Ci efficacy provides a roadmap for combination strategies.
TEAD Inhibition Overcomes YAP1/TAZ-Driven Primary and Acquired Resistance to KRASG12C Inhibitors
YAP1/TAZ-TEAD activation compensates for loss of KRAS effector signaling, establishing a mechanistic basis for concurrent inhibition of TEAD to enhance the efficacy of KRASG12C-selective inhibitor treatment of KRASG12C-mutant cancers.
CRISPR Screening Identifies Mechanisms of Resistance to KRASG12C and SHP2 Inhibitor Combinations in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Identification of resistance mechanisms to KRASG12C/SHP2 coinhibition highlights the need for additional combination therapies for lung cancer beyond on-pathway combinations and offers the basis for development of more effective combination approaches.
Prostate Cancer Progression Relies on the Mitotic Kinase Citron Kinase
The poorly characterized protein kinase citron kinase is a therapeutic target in prostate cancer that drives tumor growth by regulating diverse substrates, which control several hallmarks of aggressive prostate cancer progression.
Combining the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Cabozantinib and the mTORC1/2 Inhibitor Sapanisertib Blocks ERK Pathway Activity and Suppresses Tumor Growth in Renal Cell Carcinoma
The molecular-guided therapeutic strategy of combining cabozantinib and sapanisertib restrains ERK activity to effectively suppress growth of renal cell carcinomas, including those unresponsive to immune checkpoint inhibitors.
