Paneth-Like Transition Drives Resistance to Dual Targeting of KRAS and EGFR in Colorectal Cancer

[Cancer Cell] Using genetically engineered mouse models, patient-derived organoids and xenografts, as well as clinical specimens, scientists discovered that colorectal tumors surviving combined KRAS and EGFR inhibition acquire a Paneth-like cell state—a secretory lineage typically confined to the intestinal crypt.

UMP Functions As an Endogenous Regulator of NR4A1 to Control Gastric Cancer Progression

[Molecular Cell] Investigators identified UMP as an endogenous regulator of the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A1 in gastric cancer.

Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay Inhibits TRAF6-Dependent Anti-Tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer

[Cell Reports Medicine] The authors discovered significant nonsense-mediated mRNA decay activation and upregulated SMG5 expression in colorectal cancer.

Application of a Bioengineered Intestinal Epithelium for Drug Permeability and Metabolism Studies

[Lab On A Chip] A human organoid based bioengineered intestinal epithelium with apical and basolateral partitioning and crypt-axis patterning was characterized with regards to barrier function as well as the presence of key drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters.

Smurf1 Promotes Gastric Cancer Progression by Regulating Axin2-Dependent Wnt Signaling Pathway

[Scientific Reports] Researchers investigated the role of SMAD-specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1 (Smurf1) in regulating gastric cancer progression and revealed its underlying mechanism. Smurf1 expression was analyzed using two publicly available datasets.

Transient Receptor Melastatin Channel in Colorectal Cancer: Pathophysiological Mechanisms and a Promising Drug Target

[Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology] The authors highlight the multifaceted roles of transient receptor potential melastatin channels in colorectal cancer pathogenesis, their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and their therapeutic applications.

Positive Phase III Results Support ZIIHERA® As HER2-Targeted Therapy-of-Choice and Combination with TEVIMBRA® and Chemotherapy As New Standard of Care in First-Line HER2-Positive Locally...

[BeOne Medicines Ltd.] BeOne Medicines Ltd. announced positive top-line results from the Phase III HERIZON-GEA-01 trial evaluating ZIIHERA® in combination with chemotherapy, with or without TEVIMBRA®, as first-line treatment for HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Landscape of Gene Fusions in Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Reveals ADK Fusions As Drivers of Progression and Potential Therapeutic Targets

[Cell Discovery] Researchers leveraged a large-scale multiomics cohort and a drug screening platform for breast cancer to systematically profile gene fusions.

METTL3-Dependent m6a RNA Methylation Suppresses Aberrant Mammary Epithelial Differentiation and Neoplastic Transformation

[Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences of The United States of America] Scientists showed that METTL3-dependent m6A methylation is essential for maintaining epithelial hierarchy by repressing aberrant luminal gene expression.

RPS24 Microexon Isoform As a Novel Biomarker for Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Resistance

[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] The authors identified notable variations in ribosomal protein S24 (RPS24) splicing patterns across breast cancer subtypes and investigated this novel regulatory mechanism.

Imidacloprid Actions in the Mouse Mammary Gland Structure and Epithelial Mammary Cells. Role of GPER and nAChR

[Environmental Research] Researchers examined the imidacloprid (IMI) effect on the mammary gland in a peripuberal model where female mice were exposed to IMI.

YTHDF3 Promotes Breast Cancer Osteolytic Bone Metastasis by Enhancing the Translation of ZEB1 and SMAD5

[Oncogenesis] Investigators found YTH domain-containing family protein 3 (YTHDF3) expression was associated with clinical characteristics of breast cancer patients. YTHDF3 expression influenced the migration and invasion capacity of breast cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.
