Histological assessment of immune cell infiltration and stromal content could help predict patient outcome following synchronous resection of primary colorectal cancer and colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). The cover image represents a CRLM from a long-term survivor that has been stained with DAPI (blue), pan-cytokeratin (green), αSMA (yellow), and CD45 (pink) and scanned on the Nanostring GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler. The image is taken from the invasive edge of the CRLM and depicts malignant cells surrounded by a desmoplastic stromal capsule as well as dense CD45 infiltration with an associated tertiary lymphoid region.

Case Studies for Overcoming Challenges in Using Big Data in Cancer
Genome and Epigenome
Germline Cancer Gene Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Are Associated with Local and Global Tumor Mutations
Analysis of associations between the germline genetic background and somatic mutations in patients with cancer suggests that germline variants can influence local and global tumor mutations by altering expression of cancer-related genes.
DNA Methylation Landscapes of Prostate Cancer Brain Metastasis Are Shaped by Early Driver Genetic Alterations
DNA methylation analysis reveals the molecular characteristics of PCBM and may serve as a starting point for efforts to identify and target susceptibilities of these rare metastases.
Single-Cell Discovery and Multiomic Characterization of Therapeutic Targets in Multiple Myeloma
Single-cell transcriptomic profiling and multiomic cross-validation to uncover therapeutic targets identifies 38 myeloma marker genes, including 11 transcribing surface proteins with previously uncharacterized potential for targeted antitumor therapy.
G-Quadruplex Structures Are Key Modulators of Somatic Structural Variants in Cancers
G-quadruplex structure formation constitutes a critical step in the production of somatic structural variants in cancers, suggesting G-quadruplex structures as potential targets for future cancer prevention and treatment strategies.
Metabolism and Chemical Biology
Fructose Metabolism in Tumor Endothelial Cells Promotes Angiogenesis by Activating AMPK Signaling and Mitochondrial Respiration
Fructose metabolism in endothelial cells fuels mitochondrial respiration to stimulate tumor angiogenesis, revealing fructose metabolism as a therapeutic target and fructose restriction as a dietary intervention for treating cancer.
Molecular Cell Biology
AKT Blocks SIK1-Mediated Repression of STAT3 to Promote Breast Tumorigenesis
AKT binds and phosphorylates SIK1 to overcome SIK1-mediated repression of STAT3, indicating that STAT3 is a potential therapeutic target in breast cancer with hyperactive AKT signaling.
Dysregulation of Mitochondrial Translation Caused by CBFB Deficiency Cooperates with Mutant PIK3CA and Is a Vulnerability in Breast Cancer
CBFB-regulated mitochondrial translation is a regulatory step in breast cancer metabolism and synergizes with mutant PI3K in breast cancer progression.
Tumor Biology and Immunology
Active Remodeling of Capillary Endothelium via Cancer Cell–Derived MMP9 Promotes Metastatic Brain Colonization
Tracking single extravasating cancer cells using multimodal correlative microscopy uncovers a brain seeding mechanism involving endothelial remodeling driven by cancer cell–derived MMP9, which might enable development of approaches to prevent brain metastasis.
Neutrophil Conversion to a Tumor-Killing Phenotype Underpins Effective Microbial Therapy
Intratumoral injection of microbial bioparticles stimulates neutrophil antitumor functions, suggesting pathways for optimizing efficacy of microbial therapies and paving the way for their broader utilization in the clinic.
Translational Science
Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics Deconvolutes Prognostic Histological Subgroups in Patients with Colorectal Cancer and Synchronous Liver Metastases
Spatial transcriptomics uncovers heterogeneity between patients, between matched lesions in the same patient, and within individual lesions and identifies drivers of metastatic progression in colorectal cancer with reactive and suppressed immune microenvironments.
TONSL Is an Immortalizing Oncogene and a Therapeutic Target in Breast Cancer
The chr.8q24.3 amplicon resident gene TONSL is upregulated during the initial steps of tumorigenesis to support neoplastic transformation by increasing DNA repair and represents a potential therapeutic target for treating breast cancer.
Convergence and Technologies
Bayesian Machine Learning Enables Identification of Transcriptional Network Disruptions Associated with Drug-Resistant Prostate Cancer
The computational method TraRe built on Bayesian machine learning models for investigating transcriptional network structures shows that disruption of ELK3, MXD1, and MYB signaling cascades impacts abiraterone resistance in prostate cancer.
