Discovering Latent Scientific Concepts through Discrete Representation Learning
Marjan Stoimchev, Monu Verma, Aveline A. Filliol…·Nevenka Dimitrova
This paper introduces Kodiak, a discrete representation learning method for scientific imaging that improves representation quality and enables interpretable, reusable concepts across domains.

Systemic iron sequestration restricts the intratumoral CD8+ T cell landscape in pancreas cancer
Joshua Schoenfeld, Jahi Noel, Christopher S. McGinnis…·Santosha Adipudi Vardhana
This study shows that systemic iron sequestration via hepcidin reduces CD8+ T cells in pancreas cancer, linking iron dysregulation to tumoral immunity.

Senescence-directed nanotherapy ameliorates fibrosis and overcomes immune exclusion in cancer
Clemens Hinterleitner, Valentin J.A. Barthet, Hailey V. Goldberg…·Scott W. Lowe
P-selectin-targeted fucoidan nanoparticles carrying Navitoclax or dBET6 deplete a senescent-like, lipid-associated macrophage subset, reverse mouse liver and lung fibrosis with less toxicity, and restore checkpoint therapy response in fibrotic tumors.

Epigenetic Reactivation of Lineage Differentiation to Target Leukemia
Shandon M Amos, Chi-Chao Chen, Yichen Xiang…·Yadira M. Soto‐Feliciano
This study identifies TRIM28 as a critical regulator in acute leukemia, showing its depletion promotes neutrophil differentiation and reduces leukemic potential, with a small-molecule inhibitor developed to target it.

GATA4 loss promotes mutant Kras-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in the absence of canonical precursor lesions
Francesc Madriles, Mónica P. de Andrés, Mikhail Chesnokov…·Francisco X. Real
This study shows that GATA4 loss in Kras-mutant mice leads to PDAC without canonical precursor lesions, identifying a new lesion type and revealing GATA4's role in inflammatory programs.

Oncogenic and tumor-suppressive forces converge on a progenitor niche at the benign-to-malignant transition
Jose Reyes, Isabella S. Del Priore, Andrea C. Chaikovsky…·Scott W. Lowe
In mouse pancreatic cancer models, p53, CDKN2A and SMAD4 programs converge on a rare Kras-mutant progenitor-like state whose niche KRAS inhibition collapses and p53 loss expands.

An immunocompetent murine model of virus-elicited liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma
Mariana Nogueira Batista, Juliano Bordignon, Ana Luiza Pamplona Mosimann…·Charles M. Rice
This study develops an immunocompetent mouse model of virus-induced liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma using Norway rat hepacivirus.

Functional interrogation uncovers a critical role for a high-plasticity cell state in lung adenocarcinoma
Jason Earl Chan, Chun‐Hao Pan, Jonathan Rub…·Tuomas Tammela
In vivo lineage tracing and targeted ablation in autochthonous mouse lung adenocarcinoma establish the Slc4a11+ high-plasticity cell state as a bidirectional transition hub driving tumor progression and therapy resistance.

Harnessing the Embryo Antitumor Factor NEPN for Broad-Spectrum Cancer Immunotherapy via Dual Modulation of Tumor Progression and Immune Suppression
Tzu‐Pei Chang, Yu-Jui Ho, Mohamad Hamieh…·Kitai Kim
This study identifies NEPN as a tumor-suppressive embryonic factor that enhances cancer immunotherapy by modulating TGFβ1 signaling and immune responses in both non-solid and solid tumors.

Metastatic site influences driver gene function in pancreatic cancer
Kaloyan M. Tsanov, Francisco M. Barriga, Yu-Jui Ho…·Scott W. Lowe
This study shows that metastatic site influences the function of driver genes like SMAD4 in pancreatic cancer, with organ-specific epigenetic states affecting tumor growth.

Stromal KITL/SCF promotes pancreas tissue homeostasis and restrains tumor progression
Maria Kathrina Oñate, Chet Huan Oon, Sohinee Bhattacharyya…·Mara H. Sherman
The paper identifies loss of stromal KITL as a mechanism promoting tumor progression in the pancreas by disrupting tissue homeostasis.

Mutant IDH uncouples p53 from target gene regulation to disable tumor suppression
Cole P Martin, William B. Sullivan, Jacqueline A. Brinkman…·John P. Morris
This paper shows that mutant IDH disrupts p53 target gene regulation by altering chromatin states, disabling tumor suppression, and that this effect can be reversed with IDH inhibition.

High resolution copy number inference in cancer using short-molecule nanopore sequencing
Timour Baslan, Sam Kovaka, Fritz Joachim Sedlazeck…·Michael C. Schatz
This paper demonstrates that sequencing short DNA molecules with nanopore sequencing improves copy number inference in cancer, offering higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to traditional methods.

Chromatin-informed inference of transcriptional programs in gynecologic and basal breast cancers
Hatice U. Osmanbeyoglu, Fumiko Shimizu, Ángela Rynne‐Vidal…·Christina S. Leslie
The paper develops PSIONIC, a machine learning method that integrates chromatin accessibility and RNA-seq data to infer transcriptional programs in gynecologic and basal breast cancers, revealing regulatory differences and survival associations.
