  • Blanpain and colleagues provide evidence that the small RHO GTPase, RHOJ, mediates resistance to chemotherapy in tumour cells that have undergone epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by enabling these cells to tolerate replicative stress and promote DNA damage repair.

    • Anna Dart
    Research Highlight
  • In a recent study on castration-resistant prostate cancer, Cui et al. uncover a role for cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in inducing androgen synthesis in prostate cancer cells.

    Review Article
  • Although metastasis is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, our understanding of the process is limited. In this Review, Hebert et al. discuss the key features of various models of metastasis, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages for further dissecting mechanisms of metastasis and developing metastasis-targeted therapies.

Perspectives

  • Eukaryotic initiation factor 4F (eIF4F) controls the translation of a subset of transcripts that include those encoding oncogenic proteins. In this Perspective article, Bartish et al. discuss the implications of targeting eIF4F on immune and stromal cells in the tumour microenvironment. In addition to discussing data from cancer models, the authors incorporate extensive data from non-cancer contexts to identify potential desirable or unwanted effects of eIF4F inhibition in these cells.
