    Loss of ZIP Facilitates JAK2-STAT3 Activation in Tamoxifen-Resistant Breast Cancer

    Scientists used a powerful validation-based insertion mutagenesis method to find that expression of a dominant-negative, truncated form of the histone deacetylase ZIP led to resistance to tamoxifen.

    Snail Promotes the Generation of Vascular Endothelium by Breast Cancer Cells

    Investigators report a new and unexpected function of snail in endothelium generation by breast cancer cells. They showed that high snail-expressing breast cancer cells isolated from patients showed more endothelium generated from these cells.

    Antitumor Effect of a WEE1 Inhibitor and Potentiation of Olaparib Sensitivity by DNA Damage Response Modulation in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

    Scientists investigated the antitumor effects of a WEE1 inhibitor and the mechanisms responsible for its effects on the cell cycle and DNA repair pathway as a monotherapy and in combination with a PARP inhibitor, an ATR inhibitor, and a DNA damage-inducing agent in six TNBC cell lines and in a Balb/c athymic nude mouse xenograft model.

    CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout of Human Arylamine N-Acetyltransferase 1 in MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cells Suggests a Role in Cellular Metabolism

    The authors provided evidence that N-acetyltransferase 1 was not just a xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme and might have a role in endogenous cellular metabolism.

    Rapid Cancer Diagnosis and Early Prognosis of Metastatic Risk Based on Mechanical Invasiveness of Sampled Cells

    Investigators evaluated the mechanical invasiveness of established breast and pancreatic cell lines and of tumor-cells from fresh, suspected pancreatic cancer tumors. The mechanical invasiveness matched the in vitro metastatic potential in cell lines as determined with Boyden chamber assays.

    Hong Kong’s Contentious National Security Law Concerns Some Academics

    China’s plan to introduce a new security law in Hong Kong has prompted mixed reactions from scientists there. Some fear that such a law could lead to government interference in research, restrict participation in international collaborations and increase self-censorship, whereas others are confident that research will be unaffected.
