EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations in Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Current Status and Perspectives

[Biomarker Research] The authors systematically review the recent clinical research of and treatments used for epidermal growth factor receptor ex20ins mutations, summarize the latest data on emerging therapies, and discuss future prospects and treatments.

Incidental Discovery of Interstitial Lung Disease: Diagnostic Approach, Surveillance and Perspectives

[European Respiratory Review] Scientists focus on some of the limits of the current approach, underlying the potential for progression to full-blown interstitial lung disease of some patients with interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) and the numerous links between subpleural fibrotic ILA and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Coherus and Junshi Biosciences Announce PD-1 Inhibitor Toripalimab Granted Orphan Drug Designation for Small Cell Lung Cancer in the United States

[Coherus BioSciences, Inc.] Coherus BioSciences, Inc. announced that the FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation for toripalimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, for the treatment of small cell lung cancer.

SARM1 Depletion Slows Axon Degeneration in a CNS Model of Neurotropic Viral Infection

[Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience] Investigators tested the hypothesis that ZIKV-associated degeneration of neuronal processes was dependent on activation of Sterile alpha and armadillo motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1), an NADase that acted as a central executioner in a conserved axon degeneration pathway.

Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Kidney Organoids for Personalized Congenital and Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome Modeling

[Development] Next-generation podocytes in kidney organoids enabled personalized idiopathic nephrotic syndrome modeling as shown by activated slit diaphragm signaling and podocyte injury following protamine sulfate, puromycin aminonucleoside treatment and exposure to nephrotic syndrome plasma containing pathogenic permeability factors.

Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Drives Metastasis and Confers a Targetable Cystine Dependency in Pancreatic Cancer

[Cancer Research] Investigators showed that the mitochondrial calcium uniporter promoted pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell migration, invasion, metastasis, and metabolic stress resistance by activating the Keap1-Nrf2 antioxidant program.

Cholesterol Synthases Suppress Metastasis and Stemness through PDIA4/ACLY or SYVN1/SCD1 Axis in Advanced Colorectal Cancer

[Communications Biology] Scientists demonstrated that suppress of cholesterol synthases FDFT1 or SQLE enhances colorectal cancer metastasis and stemness through impairing ER stress and degrading PDIA4 or SYVN1 individually.

Blocking Ubiquitination of hnRNPA1 Maintains the Self-Renewal of Breast Cancer Stem Cells via Mutually Exclusive Splicing of PKM Pre-mRNA

[Oncogene] Investigators reported that PKM2 expression is upregulated in breast CSCs (BCSCs). LINC00887 maintains the self-renewal of BCSCs by promoting PKM2 splicing and reprogramming glucose metabolism.

Progesterone Receptors Drive Advanced Breast Cancer Phenotypes Including Circulating tumor- and Stem-Like Cell Expansion in the Context of ESR1 Mutation

[NPJ Breast Cancer] Scientists investigated progesterone receptor-dependent transcriptional programs such as the unfolded protein response that can be leveraged to target CSCs in Y537S estrogen receptor gene (ESR1)-mutant breast cancer.
