TGFβ signaling plays a tumor suppressor role against tumor initiation, while it also promotes malignant progression by triggering epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The mutation status of p53 is important for switching the function of TGFβ. The cover image depicts drastic morphological changes induced by the TGFβ family cytokine activin A in a Trp53R270H/LOH mouse intestinal tumor-derived organoid, which displays multiple protrusions. Such morphological changes were not observed in Trp53 wild-type, Trp53 null, or Trp53R270H/+ organoids.

Targeting Transcriptional Regulation with a CDK9 Inhibitor Suppresses Growth of Endocrine- and Palbociclib-Resistant ER+ Breast Cancers
Targeting transcription-associated CDK9 synergizes with CDK4/6 inhibitor to drive tumor regression in multiple models of endocrine- and palbociclib-resistant ER+ breast cancer, which could address the challenge of overcoming resistance in patients.
Cancer Biology
Cell State of Origin Impacts Development of Distinct Endometriosis-Related Ovarian Carcinoma Histotypes
Two cancer histotypes diverge from a common cell of origin epigenetically locked in different cell states, highlighting the importance of considering cell state to better understand the cell of origin of cancer.
Hypoxic Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Secrete miR-140–5p and miR-28–3p That Target SPRED1 to Confer Drug Resistance in Multiple Myeloma
Hypoxia induces stromal cells to secrete extracellular vesicles with increased miR-140–5p and miR-28–3p that are transferred to multiple myeloma cells and drive drug resistance by increasing the MAPK signaling.
Gain-of-Function p53 Mutation Acts as a Genetic Switch for TGFβ Signaling–Induced Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition in Intestinal Tumors
KRAS and TP53 mutations shift activin-mediated signaling to overcome growth inhibition and promote partial EMT, identifying a subset of patients with colorectal cancer that could benefit from inhibition of TGFβ signaling.

Progressively Enhancing Stemness of Adoptively Transferred T Cells with PI3Kδ Blockade Improves Metabolism and Antitumor Immunity
Elevating T-cell stemness by progressively blocking PI3Kδ signaling during ex vivo manufacturing of adoptive cell therapies alters metabolic and functional properties to enhance antitumor immunity dependent on Tcf1 and Lef1.
Therapeutic Development and Chemical Biology
Hypoxia-Responsive CAR-T Cells Exhibit Reduced Exhaustion and Enhanced Efficacy in Solid Tumors
Engineering CAR-T cells to upregulate CAR expression under hypoxic conditions induces metabolic reprogramming, reduces differentiation, and increases proliferation to enhance their antitumor activity, providing a strategy to improve efficacy and safety.
Translational Cancer Biology
XPO1 Enables Adaptive Regulation of mRNA Export Required for Genotoxic Stress Tolerance in Cancer Cells
XPO1 regulates the dynamic ribonucleoprotein nuclear export in response to genotoxic stress to support tolerance and can be targeted to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to endogenous and exogenous DNA damage.
Autotaxin Secretion Is a Stromal Mechanism of Adaptive Resistance to TGFβ Inhibition in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
TGFβ inhibition skews cancer-associated fibroblasts toward an inflammatory phenotype that secretes autotaxin to drive adaptive resistance in PDAC, revealing autotaxin as a therapeutic target and biomarker of galunisertib response.
Cancer Landscapes
Leveraging Tissue-Specific Enhancer–Target Gene Regulatory Networks Identifies Enhancer Somatic Mutations That Functionally Impact Lung Cancer
Mapping enhancer–target gene regulatory interactions and analyzing enhancer mutations at the level of their target genes and pathways reveal convergence of recurrent enhancer mutations on biological processes involved in tumorigenesis and prognosis.
Genomic and Evolutionary Characterization of Concurrent Intraductal Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate
The genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic characterization of concurrent intraductal carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the prostate deepens the biological understanding of this lethal disease and provides a genetic basis for developing targeted therapies.
