Translation, a bridge linking mRNA transcripts and proteins, is under fine and dynamic regulation in both normal and transformed cells. Cancer is characterized by increased protein synthesis to meet the demand for growth, survival, and metastasis. The cover image illustrates a mechanism exploited by pancreatic cancer cells to enhance translation. FBXO32-mediated polyubiquitination of eEF1A1 stimulates translational activity to sustain malignant progression.

CDK4/6 Alters TBK1 Phosphorylation to Inhibit the STING Signaling Pathway in Prostate Cancer
Inhibiting CDK4/6 activates STING-TBK1-IRF3 signaling in prostate cancer by regulating TBK1 phosphorylation, suggesting that the combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors and STING agonists could be an effective approach to stimulate innate immunity.
FBXO32 Stimulates Protein Synthesis to Drive Pancreatic Cancer Progression and Metastasis
FBXO32 upregulation in pancreatic cancer induced by FRG1 deficiency increases eEF1A1 activity to promote ITGB5 translation and stimulate FAK signaling, driving cancer progression and sensitizing tumors to the FAK inhibitor defactinib.
Increased Protein Kinase A Activity Induces Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma Features Independent of DNAJB1
Alterations leading to unconstrained protein kinase A signaling, regardless of the presence or absence of PRKACA fusions, drive the phenotypes of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma, reshaping understanding of the pathogenesis of this rare liver cancer.

Serine Depletion Promotes Antitumor Immunity by Activating Mitochondrial DNA-Mediated cGAS-STING Signaling
Depriving cancer cells of serine provokes mitochondrial perturbations that induce cytosolic mitochondrial DNA accumulation and subsequent activation of cGAS-STING signaling, stimulating tumor-targeting immune responses that can be enhanced with PD-1 targeted therapy.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
The DRAP1/DR1 Repressor Complex Increases mTOR Activity to Promote Progression and Confer Everolimus Sensitivity in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
DR1 and DRAP1 form a positive feedback loop and a repressor complex to cooperatively inhibit cytosolic arginine sensor for mTORC1 subunit 1 transcription and stimulate mTOR signaling, leading to progression and increased everolimus sensitivity in triple-negative breast cancer.
Translational Cancer Biology
CENP-E Inhibition Induces Chromosomal Instability and Synergizes with Diverse Microtubule-Targeting Agents in Breast Cancer
The increased incidence of polar chromosomes induced by inhibition of the mitotic kinesin CENP-E exacerbates chromosomal instability, reduces daughter cell viability, and improves sensitivity to microtubule-targeting therapies.
Targeting Super-Enhancer–Driven Transcriptional Dependencies Suppresses Aberrant Hedgehog Pathway Activation and Overcomes Smoothened Inhibitor Resistance
Dissecting transcriptional dependencies driven by super-enhancers uncovers therapeutic targets in Hedgehog-driven cancers and identifies strategies for overcoming resistance to smoothened inhibitors.

Large-Scale Alternative Polyadenylation-Wide Association Studies to Identify Putative Cancer Susceptibility Genes
Systematic evaluation of associations of alternative polyadenylation with cancer risk reveals 58 putative susceptibility genes, highlighting the contribution of genetically regulated alternative polyadenylation of 3′ UTRs to genetic susceptibility to cancer.
Computational Cancer Biology and Technology
Transient Differentiation-State Plasticity Occurs during Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Initiation
A method merging multicolor flow cytometry with single-cell whole genome sequencing to couple cell identity with clonal lineages uncovers differentiation-state plasticity in leukemia, reconciling blocked differentiation with phenotypic plasticity in cancer.
Convergence Science
Integration of Clinical Trial Spatial Multiomics Analysis and Virtual Clinical Trials Enables Immunotherapy Response Prediction and Biomarker Discovery
Incorporating mathematical modeling and computer simulations with high-throughput spatial multiomics data provides an effective approach for patient outcome prediction and biomarker discovery.
