The paper identifies BAP1 as a tumor suppressor in soft tissue sarcoma using an in vivo CRISPR screen and shows that PLK1 inhibition can suppress tumor growth in BAP1-deficient models.

This study shows that loss of Atrx in a mouse sarcoma model activates the ALT telomere maintenance pathway independently of telomerase, leading to telomere instability and APB formation.

The paper investigates a p53 mutation that causes mis-splicing and loss of function in vitro and in vivo, challenging the classical view of p53 tumor suppression.

This study shows that combining radiotherapy with CpG, a TLR9 agonist, enhances tumor response in a mouse sarcoma model by boosting CD8 T cell activity.

This study generates genetically engineered mouse models of CIC-DUX4 sarcoma that spontaneously develop tumors and express the fusion protein, validating CIC-DUX4 as a transcriptional activator.

This study shows that p53 TAD1 regulates the DNA damage response in endothelial cells to prevent radiation-induced cardiac injury.
