Cancer metastasis remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, and tumor metabolic reprogramming, particularly aerobic glycolysis and lactate accumulation, is increasingly recognized as a metastatic driver. Lysine lactylation provides a direct mechanism by which lactate modifies proteins to shape tumor behavi...

Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1), a serine/threonine kinase essential for cell cycle progression, also plays critical roles in DNA damage response, gene expression regulation, and therapeutic resistance. In this study, we identify a previously unrecognized regulatory link between CDK1 and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonu...

This review examines how BRN2 connects developmental neurogenesis to therapy-induced tumor reprogramming and integrates insights from neurodevelopment and direct lineage reprogramming to describe how BRN2 maintains stem-like and neuroendocrine transcriptional states.
