Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations cause lineage-selective niche corruption
Oliwia N Mruk, Alexandra J. Musk, Sweta Swaminathan…·Ralitsa Radostinova Madsen
This study shows that PIK3CA mutations cause lineage-specific niche changes in vascular endothelium, leading to tissue malformations that can be partially prevented by PI3K inhibition.

PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS) zebrafish models reveal pan-lineage developmental dysregulation
Hannah Brunsdon, Nuoya Wang, Micha Sam Brickman Raredon…·E. Elizabeth Patton
The paper develops zebrafish models of PROS to show that PIK3CA mutations cause non-cell-autonomous overgrowth through pan-lineage gene expression and communication changes.

PI3K inhibitor-free differentiation and maturation of human iPSC-derived arterial- and venous-like endothelial cells
Oliwia N Mruk, Ralitsa Radostinova Madsen
This paper presents a method to generate arterial- and venous-like endothelial cells from human iPSCs without PI3K inhibitors, enabling disease modeling of vascular disorders.

Non-equilibrium strategies enabling ligand specificity by signaling receptors
Andrew Goetz, Jeremy Barrios, Ralitsa Radostinova Madsen, Purushottam D. Dixit
The paper introduces a non-equilibrium model explaining how signaling receptors achieve ligand specificity through multi-site phosphorylation and degradation, showing that intermediate-affinity ligands maximize network activity.

Cholesterol biosynthesis inhibition synergizes with AKT inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer
Alissandra L. Hillis, Timothy D. Martin, Haley E. Manchester…·Alex Toker
This study identifies a synergistic effect between AKT inhibitors and pitavastatin in killing triple-negative breast cancer cells by targeting cholesterol trafficking.

SIGNAL-seq: Multimodal Single-cell Inter- and Intra-cellular Signalling Analysis
James W. Opzoomer, Rhianna O’Sullivan, Jahangir Sufi…·Christopher J. Tape
SIGNAL-seq measures RNA and PTMs in single cells to analyze inter- and intra-cellular signaling in the tumor microenvironment.

Oncogenic PIK3CA corrupts growth factor signaling specificity
Ralitsa Radostinova Madsen, Alix Le Marois, Oliwia N Mruk…·Bart Vanhaesebroeck
The paper uses single-cell analyses to show that oncogenic PIK3CAH1047R reduces IGF1 signaling specificity and enhances EGF responses, leading to increased phenotypic heterogeneity.
