Generalist medical artificial intelligence (GMAI) models are gaining momentum in their applications for cancer treatment. In this Comment, Gilbert and Kather advocate for novel regulation of GMAI approaches to ensure patient safety and adequate physician support.
In a recent study published in Nature, Goto et al. explore mechanisms of immune evasion in early colorectal cancers and adenomas and identify SOX17 to be crucial for immune escape through suppression of interferon-γ signalling.
In this recent study, He et al. establish that chronic stress promotes metastasis through stress-induced formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).
In this Tools of the Trade article, Kaile Wang describes the development and use of Arc-well, a high-throughput single-cell DNA sequencing method tailored to analyse archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) materials.
Metastatic cancer represents the main cause of death in patients with cancer, but metastasis research is hindered by the limited availability of metastatic samples. In this Comment, Desmedt and Carey highlight the opportunities and challenges of post-mortem tissue donation programmes, which represent a complementary and attractive solution to overcome many of the hurdles in metastasis research.
In this World View, H. Michael Shepard describes his personal story behind the discovery of trastuzumab, 25 years since its FDA approval for HER2-overexpressing breast cancers.
Recently published in Nature, Fan et al. demonstrate that accumulation of advanced glycation end-products in the extracellular matrix of the liver increases viscoelasticity to promote hepatocellular carcinoma growth, independent of stiffness.
Two independent studies published in Nature implicate distal cholesterol biosynthesis in the regulation of ferroptosis and show that 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) is an endogenous, anti-ferroptotic metabolite.
In this Tools of the Trade, Juliann Shih describes the development of BISCUT, which detects genomic loci that are subject to fitness advantages or disadvantages by interrogating the length distributions of partial somatic copy-number alterations to enable the discovery of new drivers of aneuploidy in cancer.
Mutant gain-of-function p53 is commonly found in human cancers. Huang, Cao, Qian et al. developed and validated the use of multifunctional biomimetic nanoreceptors that bind to and promote the degradation of mutant p53 as a cancer therapy.
In this Tools of the Trade article, Vakul Mohanty describes the development and use of METAFlux, a computational framework that infers metabolic flux from bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing data.
Goddard et al. report that disseminated tumour cells evade T cell immunity due to their relative scarcity, which decreases the likelihood of T cell–tumour cell interactions.
Zhao et al. identified lymphatic endothelial-like cells in glioblastoma and demonstrated their role in promoting tumour growth through increased glioblastoma cholesterol metabolism.
In this Journal Club, Góss dos Santos discusses a study that successfully generated sarcoma-derived organoids and utilized them to identify a novel therapeutic target.
In a recent Developmental Cell paper, Falvo et al. establish a role for epigenetic memory of inflammatory injury in promoting pancreatic tumorigenesis.
