Matrix Pore Size Governs Escape of Human Breast Cancer Cells from a Microtumor to an Empty Cavity

By varying the physical properties of collagen, investigators found that MDA-MB-231 tumor cells invaded and escaped faster in lower-density ECM. These effects were mediated by the ECM pore size, rather than by the elastic modulus or interstitial flow speed.

Practical Classification of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Intratumoral Heterogeneity, Mechanisms of Drug Resistance, and Novel Therapies

Despite several efforts, transcriptomic and genomic classifications have remained merely theoretic and most of the patients are being treated with chemotherapy. Driver alterations in potentially targetable genes, including PIK3CA and AKT, have been identified across triple negative breast cancer subtypes, prompting the implementation of biomarker-driven therapeutic approaches.

Nanoparticle-Delivered Miriplatin Ultrasmall Dots Suppress Triple Negative Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis by Targeting Circulating Tumor Cells

Investigators found that active targeting nanoparticles displayed a superior DNA damage capability via enhanced-interactions with DNA and a significantly stronger effect in reducing cancer stem cell-like property of triple negative breast cancer cells, compared to conventional cisplatin and miriplatin.

Pan-Cancer Analysis Reveals TAp63-Regulated Oncogenic lncRNAs that Promote Cancer Progression through AKT Activation

By performing a mouse-human cross species analysis between the TAp63 metastatic mammary adenocarcinoma mouse model and models of human breast cancer progression, researchers identified two TAp63-regulated oncogenic lncRNAs, TROLL-2 and TROLL-3.
