Making a tumour's bed: glioblastoma stem cells and the vascular niche

Richard J. Gilbertson & Jeremy N. Rich

p733 | doi:10.1038/nrc2246

Glioblastoma stem cells might be dependent on cues from aberrant vascular niches that mimic the normal neural stem cell niche. What are the implications of these findings for treatment of this disease?

Illuminating the metastatic process

Erik Sahai

p737 | doi:10.1038/nrc2229

Studying metastasis has been difficult because until recently only the end result (metastases) could be observed. Advances in imaging technology have enabled us to begin to unravel the steps of metastasis in vivo.

Genetic and molecular pathogenesis of mantle cell lymphoma: perspectives for new targeted therapeutics

Pedro Jares, Dolors Colomer & Elias Campo

p750 | doi:10.1038/nrc2230

Mantle cell lymphoma, characterized by proliferation of mature B lymphocytes, is one of the most aggressive lymphomas. What molecular pathways are involved in its pathogenesis, and how can these be exploited to predict patient prognosis and design new therapies?

Fatty acid synthase and the lipogenic phenotype in cancer pathogenesis

Javier A. Menendez & Ruth Lupu

p763 | doi:10.1038/nrc2222

Fatty acid synthase (FASN) catalyses the synthesis of fatty acids, and this synthetic pathway is upregulated in many tumours. How might FASN and increased lipogenesis be involved in cancer, and is FASN a valid therapeutic target?

Lung cancer in never smokers — a different disease

Sophie Sun, Joan H. Schiller & Adi F. Gazdar

p778 | doi:10.1038/nrc2190

Approximately 25% of lung cancer cases worldwide are not attributable to smoking, accounting for over 300,000 deaths each year. What do we know about this unique but poorly characterized disease?

Molecular heterogeneity of breast carcinomas and the cancer stem cell hypothesis

John Stingl & Carlos Caldas

p791 | doi:10.1038/nrc2212

Can the heterogeneity of breast cancer be interpreted through a comparison with haematological cancers?

Emerging roles of proteases in tumour suppression

Carlos López-Otín & Lynn M. Matrisian

p800 | doi:10.1038/nrc2228

Proteases have long been associated with cancer progression and metastasis, however studies have also revealed proteases with tumour-suppressive effects. What are the implications of these findings?
