Numerous cancers are linked with being overweight or with obesity. The cover image captures the intricate relationship between body weight and cancer development. Two human silhouettes, one representing a normal-weight individual and the other an overweight individual, stand juxtaposed against a backdrop of cellular structures. These structures symbolize the unique genomic and gene expression patterns associated with each body weight category, highlighting their influence on cancer progression and the tumor microenvironment. These insights into the molecular interactions between body weight and cancer may inform personalized prevention and treatment strategies.

Review
Cancer Biology
Pooled CRISPR Screening Identifies P-Bodies as Repressors of Cancer Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition
Systematic investigation of the influence of post-transcriptional regulation on cancer cell motility established a connection between P-body–mediated translational control and EMT, which could be therapeutically exploited to attenuate metastasis formation.
AXL/WRNIP1 Mediates Replication Stress Response and Promotes Therapy Resistance and Metachronous Metastasis in HER2+ Breast Cancer
Nuclear AXL and WRNIP1 interact and mediate replication stress response, promote therapy resistance, and support metastatic progression, indicating that targeting the AXL/WRNIP1 axis is a potentially viable therapeutic strategy for breast cancer.
DNA-PK–Mediated Cytoplasmic DNA Sensing Stimulates Glycolysis to Promote Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma Malignancy and Chemoresistance
DNA-PK is a cytoplasmic DNA sensor that activates ZAK/AKT/mTOR signaling and boosts glycolysis to enhance malignancy and chemoresistance of lung squamous cell carcinoma.
Cancer Metabolism and Molecular Mechanisms
Adipose Triglyceride Lipase Is a Therapeutic Target in Advanced Prostate Cancer That Promotes Metabolic Plasticity
ATGL promotes prostate cancer metabolic plasticity and progression through both lipase-dependent and lipase-independent activity, informing strategies to target ATGL and lipid metabolism for cancer treatment.
Translational Cancer Biology
Adipocyte Precursor-Derived NRG1 Promotes Resistance to FGFR Inhibition in Urothelial Carcinoma
Acquired resistance to FGFR inhibition can be rapidly promoted by paracrine activation of the NRG1/HER3 axis mediated by adipocyte precursors and can be overcome by the combination of pertuzumab and erdafitinib treatment.
Cancer Landscapes
The Epigenetic Evolution of Glioma Is Determined by the IDH1 Mutation Status and Treatment Regimen
Standard treatments are related to loss of DNA methylation in IDHmut glioma, resulting in epigenetic activation of genes associated with tumor progression and alterations in the microenvironment that resemble treatment-naïve IDHwt glioma.
Body Weight Correlates with Molecular Variances in Patients with Cancer
Elucidation of the complex interplay between body weight and the molecular landscape of cancer could potentially guide tailored therapies and improve patient management amid the global obesity crisis.
Convergence Science
Chronic Stress Dampens Lactobacillus Johnsonii–Mediated Tumor Suppression to Enhance Colorectal Cancer Progression
Chronic stress stimulates cancer stemness by reducing the intestinal abundance of L. johnsonii and its metabolite PCA to enhance β-catenin signaling, forming a basis for potential strategies to circumvent stress-induced cancer aggressiveness.
