    Germline cis variant determines epigenetic regulation of the anti-cancer drug metabolism gene dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD)

    Ting Zhang, Alisa Ambrodji ... Steven M Offer
    A genetic variant within a newly identified enhancer regulates the expression of a key pharmacogene and alters the balance between resistance and sensitivity to a widely used chemotherapeutic.

    Associations of combined phenotypic aging and genetic risk with incident cancer: A prospective cohort study

    Lijun Bian, Zhimin Ma ... Guangfu Jin
    Older PhenoAge was consistently related to an increased risk of incident cancer with adjustment for chronological age and the aging process could be retarded by adherence to a healthy lifestyle.

    Ribosome subunit attrition and activation of the p53–MDM4 axis dominate the response of MLL-rearranged cancer cells to WDR5 WIN site inhibition

    Gregory Caleb Howard, Jing Wang ... William P Tansey
    Analysis of the action of WDR5 inhibitors in leukemia cells reveals decreased ribosome inventory, impaired protein synthesis, induction of nucleolar stress, and activation of p53 via alternative splicing of MDM4.

    N-cadherin directs the collective Schwann cell migration required for nerve regeneration through Slit2/3-mediated contact inhibition of locomotion

    Julian JA Hoving, Elizabeth Harford-Wright ... Alison C Lloyd
    N-cadherin and Slit2/3/Robo interactions provide the outward force to drive collective Schwann cell migration during nerve regeneration, identifying a dual role for N-cadherin in both adhesion and repulsion processes during Schwann cell collective migration.

    Recording and classifying MET receptor mutations in cancers

    Célia Guérin, David Tulasne
    Classification of MET mutations allows a better understanding of sensitivity and resistance to targeted therapies used in cancer.

    Convergent epigenetic evolution drives relapse in acute myeloid leukemia

    Kevin Nuno, Armon Azizi ... Ravindra Majeti
    Integrated analyses of acute myeloid leukemia genetics and epigenetics demonstrate that epigenetic evolution occurs in a convergent manner in the absence of DNA mutations at relapse post-chemotherapy.
