TL;DR

These findings characterize IQGAP2 as a novel regulator orchestrating tumor-intrinsic phagocytic-like programs and immune checkpoint modulation, suggesting that targeting the IQGAP2/JAK2/STAT3 axis represents a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome immune evasion in glioma.

NFS1 activates PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling to upregulate GPX4 expression and enhance ferroptosis resistance in osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma continues to exhibit poor survival outcomes due to chemoresistance and metastasis, with metabolic reprogramming and ferroptosis resistance being key features of tumor heterogeneity, yet their upstream regulators remain poorly defined. NFS1, a cysteine desulfurase essential for iron–sulfur cluster biogenesi...

Inflamed Yet Immune-Evasive? A Transcriptomic Meta-Analysis Identifies Conserved Inflammatory, Developmental, and Neuronal Signatures Associated with Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells

This study proposes that PGCCs represent an immune-adaptive polyploid survival state in which inflammatory and ontogenetic pathways are repurposed to support immune evasion and tumor persistence and provides a framework for therapeutic strategies aimed at dismantling the PGCC reservoir and preventing tumor relapse.
