- #JournalClub🚨 Pablo Siliceo & Alfredo Rodríguez discuss histoCAT, a method that offers interactive spatial analysis to reveal tumour tissue architecture and cell–cell interactions, highlighting the growing power of #SpatialBiology. 📖⬇️ dlvr.it/TQfjPk
- #Comment🚨 Cat tumour viruses mirror human oncogenic viruses. Beatty & Tu argue that comparative oncology in cats could accelerate prevention and treatment strategies for viral cancers. 📖⬇️ dlvr.it/TQdk2t
- #COMMENT 🚨 To preserve tumour architecture, cellular heterogeneity & the dynamic crosstalk that influences cancer, Fong and colleagues advocate for coordinated, cross-disciplinary and sustained efforts to promote the widespread adoption of tumour explants. 👇 📖 dlvr.it/TQZPW7
- #REVIEW 🚨 The fibroinflammatory microenvironment of PDAC influences progression & therapy response. @marasherman.bsky.social et al. outline the complex interplay between the stromal elements & present ways to develop better therapeutic strategies. 👇 📖
- #REVIEW 🚨 #AI agents perform complex tasks with minimal human oversight. This Review by @jnkt.bsky.social et al. discusses how AI could transform oncology & the challenges to address for efficient & safe use. 👇 📖
- Weekend reading 🚨 A comprehensive #Review on the dual role of the #cGAS–#STING pathway in cancer, emphasizing its involvement in both tumour suppression and promotion, which might underlie the limited clinical success of cGAS–STING targeting in cancer therapy. 📖👇
- ICYMI 🚨 #ResearchHighlight on a study published in @Nature demonstrating that strong oncogenic driver mutations undergo negative selection unless they occur in a permissive tissue context. 📖👇

- ICYMI: #ResearchHighlight By incorporating lectins that target tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens, Zhou et al. engineered bispecific antibodies that induce effective T cell activation & tumour regression in various cancers. 📖 👇
- 🚨 #PERSPECTIVE 🚨 Reardon et al. explore how integrating machine learning into next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based molecular diagnostic workflows can enhance precision oncology. 📖 👇
- Happy 2026! Our first issue of the year is live! ❄️ It features articles on: - Identifying & targeting EMT tumour states - Metabolic cell death for therapy - Epigenetic regulation of T cell exhaustion - FLASH radiotherapy 👇 📖 https://bit.ly/4jp37...
- #Review🕯️🕯️🕯️ Luo, Kharas & Jaffrey explore how m6A RNA modifications regulate RNA stability, translation, splicing & immune responses in cancer and discuss challenges & opportunities for targeting the m6A machinery for cancer therapy. @kharaslab.bsky.social 📖 ⬇️
- ICYMI: #ResearchHighlight A study published in Science shows that liver zonation shapes hepatocellular carcinoma #HCC development, revealing metabolic vulnerabilities in liver cancer. @haozhulab.bsky.social
- In this recent #Comment, Sheila Mansouri, Gelareh Zadeh & Co outline the need for patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) ambassadors into basic cancer research pipelines. 📖 ⬇️ https://bit.ly/48UH3...
- #Review 🕯️🕯️🕯️ The ability of #macrophages to eliminate cancer cells is controlled by phagocytic checkpoints. Veillette&Co discuss targeting these checkpoints for cancer therapy and outline strategies to address therapeutic efficacy concerns. 📖⬇️
- Concomitant medications can influence ICI outcomes & represent a modifiable prognostic factor. Now, Young & colleagues explore immunomodulatory effects of common drugs + supplements & propose strategies to integrate this knowledge into clinical care.
- #REVIEW 🚨 Tumor heterogeneity shapes progression and treatment, yet bulk expression data fails to capture this. Now Dai et al. outline deconvolution methods that resolve cell-type-specific signals to maximize bulk transcriptomic data.
