In the Spotlight

Priority Report

Alternative splicing is a potent mechanism of acquired drug resistance in relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemias that has diagnostic and therapeutic implications for patients who lack mutations in known chemoresistance genes.

Cancer Biology

The immune system controls disseminated breast cancer cells during disease latency, highlighting the need to utilize immunocompetent models to identify strategies for targeting dormant cancer cells and reducing metastatic recurrence.

ATP1B3 is a lethal selective paralog dependency in acute myeloid leukemia that can be eliminated to destabilize the sodium–potassium pump, inducing cell death.

SULF1+ cancer-associated fibroblasts play a tumor-promoting role in colorectal cancer by stimulating extracellular matrix deposition and angiogenesis and can serve as a biomarker for the therapeutic response to HDAC inhibitors in patients.

Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms

Blocking glutamine utilization activates YAP to promote ECM deposition by fibroblasts, highlighting the potential of YAP inhibitors and antifibrotic strategies as promising approaches for effective combination metabolic therapies in cancer.

Inhibiting DHCR7 induces cholesterol metabolism reprogramming and lipid raft remodeling to inactivate the cAMP/protein kinase A/FAK axis and suppress bladder cancer metastasis, indicating the therapeutic potential of targeting DHCR7.

Therapeutic Development and Chemical Biology

KSQ-4279 is a potent and selective inhibitor of USP1 that induces regression of PARP inhibitor–resistant tumors when dosed in combination with PARP inhibitors, addressing an unmet clinical need for BRCA-mutant tumors.

Translational Cancer Biology

USP1 inhibitors kill BRCA1-deficient cells and cause ssDNA gap accumulation, supporting the potential of using ssDNA gap detection as a functional biomarker for clinical trials on USP1 inhibitors.

Targeting FANCI is a promising therapeutic strategy for enhancing PARP inhibitor sensitivity in breast cancer that holds potential for broader therapeutic applications beyond cancers harboring BRCA mutations.

Computational Cancer Biology and Technology

Increased expression of multiple rescuer genes on the gained chromosome 7 could compensate for the downregulation of several vulnerable genes on the lost chromosome 10, resolving the long-standing mystery of this frequent co-occurrence in gliomas.

Convergence Science

Genetic alterations linked to strong genotypic–phenotypic correlations can be utilized to develop AI systems applied to pathology that facilitate cancer diagnosis and biologic discoveries.
