Significance The glycocalyx, a network of glycolipids and glycoproteins on cell surfaces, plays a pivotal role in immune modulation. Hypersialylated glycans have been identified as
Abstract Aberrant activation of Ras/Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling is frequently linked to metastatic prostate cancer (PCa); therefore, the characterization of modulators of this pathway
Abstract Brain metastases represent an important clinical problem for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, the mechanisms underlying SCLC growth in the brain remain
Abstract Inflammation is a complex physiological process triggered in response to harmful stimuli1. It involves cells of the immune system capable of clearing sources of
Abstract Cancer metastasis to the brain is a significant clinical problem. Metastasis is the consequence of favorable interactions between invaded cancer cells and the microenvironment.
Abstract Metastatic breast cancer is an intractable disease that responds poorly to immunotherapy. We show that p38MAPKa inhibition (p38i) limits tumor growth by reprograming the
Highlights Summary Molecular mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis span diverse tissues of origin. Here, we synthesize and collate the transcriptomes of patient-derived xenografts and patient tumor
This year, cancer researchers uncovered a variety of ways that tumors can survive and spread, ranging from damaging their own DNA to exploiting the nearby
Abstract We identify the sodium leak channel non-selective protein (NALCN) as a key regulator of cancer metastasis and nonmalignant cell dissemination. Among 10,022 human cancers, NALCN loss-of-function
Abstract The pan-HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) neratinib is therapeutically active against metastatic breast cancers harboring activating HER2 mutations, but responses are variable and often
Abstract The metastatic spread of cancer is achieved by the haematogenous dissemination of circulating tumour cells (CTCs). Generally, however, the temporal dynamics that dictate the
Highlights •KP-tracer mice enable continuous, high-resolution in vivo cancer lineage tracing •Rare subclones with distinct expression programs expand during tumor evolution •Lineage tracing reveals cellular plasticity and evolutionary
Highlights •Tumor cells that survive impending death become stable pro-metastatic tumor cells, PAMEs •PAMEs display molecularly defined pro-metastatic states and form distant metastases •ER stress
Abstract Secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) influence the tumor microenvironment and promote distal metastasis. Here we analyzed the involvement of melanoma-secreted EVs in lymph node pre-metastatic
A new study headed by researchers at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB) has uncovered how palmitic acid (PA)—a fatty acid commonly found in
Significance Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play increasingly appreciated gene-regulatory roles in the process of human tumorigenesis. Our results demonstrated that circURI1 expression levels were significantly increased in gastric
Abstract Antibody-based therapies have proved to be of great value in cancer treatment. Despite the clinical success of these biopharmaceuticals, reaching targets in the bone
Abstract Breast cancer frequently metastasizes to bone, causing osteolytic lesions. However, how factors secreted by primary tumors affect the bone microenvironment before the osteolytic phase
Abstract It is well established that a subset of cells within primary breast cancers can undergo an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), although the role of EMT
Abstract Cytosolic DNA is characteristic of chromosomally unstable metastatic cancer cells, resulting in constitutive activation of the cGAS-STING innate immune pathway. How tumors co-opt inflammatory
Cancer cells have the ability to connect to and feed off of neurons in the brain, according to three studies published in Nature on Wednesday
Metastasis is the major driver of death in patients with cancer. Invasion of surrounding tissues and metastasis have been proposed to initiate following loss of
Most types of cancer are lethal after tumour cells have left their primary site of growth and moved to colonize a distant organ through a
Two well-known gene mutations work in tandem to allow endometrial cells, the cells that line the uterus, to migrate outside of the organ, a phenomenon
