This study shows lactate epigenetically regulates cell states in H3K27M diffuse midline gliomas by modifying histones, and targeting CBP/p300 reduces tumor heterogeneity and improves preclinical outcomes.

This study modifies a molecule to create two variants with different target selectivity, showing how small structural changes can control degradation activity.

This paper identifies a druggable chromatin vulnerability in suppressive neutrophils that can restore antitumor immunity through mSWI/SNF antagonists.

A bifunctional AR–p300/CBP molecule, DALTAC-1, forces a non-native contact between AR and p300 domains, silences AR enhancers and regresses AR-driven prostate tumors in mice while sparing AR-negative lines.

This study identifies a stress-lipid kinase axis in NEPC driven by PIKfyve, revealing a synthetic vulnerability between PIKfyve and FASN that can be exploited for therapeutic targeting.

This study identifies NNMT as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer that regulates SAM availability, mTORC1 signaling, and chromatin methylation, revealing a therapeutic strategy using dietary methionine restriction and mTORC1 inhibition.

This study shows that degrading p300/CBP in prostate cancer suppresses tumor growth more effectively than inhibiting their activity, highlighting their role in maintaining the active AR enhanceosome.

This study maps the mouse prostate's cellular organization and identifies key determinants of castration resistance using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics.

This study identifies PCAHIT, a lncRNA linked to poor outcomes in prostate cancer, showing it promotes aggressive phenotypes by affecting steroid biosynthesis and immune response.

This study identifies PIKfyve as a targetable vulnerability in pancreatic cancer by showing its role in lipid metabolism and synthetic lethality with KRAS-MAPK inhibitors.

This study identifies lineage-specific transcription factor profiles in prostate cancer progression, revealing dynamic shifts during NE transdifferentiation and proposing a three-phase model.

This paper uses spatial transcriptomics to identify low-risk and high-risk expression programs in IPMN that correlate with exocrine and basal-like PDAC signatures, improving risk stratification.

The paper compiles and provides eight scRNA-seq datasets from nine cancer types, 174 patients, and 90,270 cancer cells to study ICB treatment responses.
