FGFR4-driven cancers feature complex signaling networks. The cover image represents a cell housing an intricate web of interconnected nodes that symbolize the dynamic interplay of signaling proteins, and the varied colors reflect cellular heterogeneity. Integrative computational modeling revealed cell type–specific vulnerabilities and potential synergistic drug combinations in different cancer types. The layered design of the image embodies the multifaceted analysis combining computational predictions with experimental validation, offering insights for precision cancer treatment strategies.

Hypoxic Memory Mediates Prolonged Tumor-Intrinsic Type I Interferon Suppression to Promote Breast Cancer Progression
Long-term cellular memory of hypoxia leads to sustained suppression of tumor-intrinsic type I IFN signaling and the antigen presentation pathway that facilitates tumorigenesis and metastasis.
AFDN Deficiency Promotes Liver Tropism of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
A CRISPR screen reveals AFDN loss as a mediator of liver tropism in colorectal cancer metastasis by decreasing tight junctions in the primary tumor and increasing interactions between cancer cells and hepatocytes.

A Prime-Boost Vaccination Approach Induces Lung Resident Memory CD8+ T Cells Derived from Central Memory T Cells That Prevent Tumor Lung Metastasis
Prime-boost vaccination shapes the mucosal microenvironment and reprograms central memory T cells to generate lung resident memory T cells that protect against lung metastasis, providing insights for the optimization of vaccine strategies.
CD47-SIRPα Blockade Sensitizes Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma to Cetuximab by Enhancing Macrophage Adhesion to Cancer Cells
CD47-SIRPα blockade increases surface CD11b/CD18 on macrophages to enhance adhesion to cancer cells, resulting in robust synergistic phagocytosis in combination with cetuximab treatment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
NAT10 Phase Separation Regulates YTHDF1 Splicing to Promote Gastric Cancer Progression
Phase separation of NAT10 enables acetylation of SRSF2 that enhances YTHDF1 exon 4 skipping, which is a tumor-promoting axis in gastric cancer that represents potential therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers.
Therapeutic Targeting of the GLS1–c-Myc Positive Feedback Loop Suppresses Glutaminolysis and Inhibits Progression of Head and Neck Cancer
GLS1 and c-Myc form a positive feedback loop that promotes head and neck cancer metastasis and can be targeted as a promising therapeutic strategy for this disease.
Translational Cancer Biology
CCN6 Suppresses Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma by Antagonizing Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling to Inhibit EZH2-Driven EMT
CCN6 deficiency drives metaplastic breast carcinoma growth and metastasis by increasing Wnt/β-catenin activation to upregulate EZH2, identifying EZH2 inhibition as a mechanistically guided treatment strategy for this deadly form of breast cancer.
Targeting Cholesterol Biosynthesis with Statins Synergizes with AKT Inhibitors in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Two FDA-approved compounds, AKT inhibitors and pitavastatin, synergize to induce cell death in triple-negative breast cancer, motivating evaluation of the efficacy of this combination in clinical trials.
Cancer Landscapes
Proteomic Profiling of Serum Extracellular Vesicles Identifies Diagnostic Signatures and Therapeutic Targets in Breast Cancer
Characterization of the proteomic composition of circulating extracellar vesicles in breast cancer patients identifies signatures for diagnosing primary and metastatic tumors and reveals tumor-promoting cargo that can be targeted to improve outcomes.
