Discover What's Driving Tumor Cell Biology Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism to generate the energy and building blocks they need to proliferate. Agilent Seahorse XF technology measures changes in both glycolytic and mitochondrial activity in real time, providing a window into the Warburg effect, substrate dependency, and other metabolic aspects of tumor cell biology.

A community map of cancer immunity Immunotherapy is influenced by a complex set of tumour, host and environmental factors. Such factors combine to characterise the immunological status — or cancer-immune set point — of an individual. Collaborate with peers to update, evolve and improve the cancer-immune set point framework

Article series: Clinical insights Comment: Melanoma: a global perspective Raul Ossio, Rodrigo Roldán-Marín, Héctor Martínez-Said, David J. Adams & Carla Daniela Robles-Espinoza p393 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.43 Most of our current knowledge of melanoma is derived from the study of patients from populations of European descent, for whom public health, sun protection initiatives and screening measures have appreciably decreased disease mortality. Notably, some melanoma subtypes that most commonly develop in other populations are not associated with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, suggesting a different disease aetiology. Further study of these subtypes is necessary to understand their risk factors and genomic architecture, and to tailor therapies and public health campaigns to benefit patients of all ethnic groups.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Top Cancer models: Tailored mouse models p395 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.45 To advance preclinical research, two groups have developed mouse models of metastatic colorectal cancer using the transplantation of engineered organoids. PDF Tumour immunology: LAP targeting reduces tolerogenic cells in cancer p396 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.46 Anti-LAP antibodies show promising anticancer properties. PDF Immunotherapy: Macrophages steal the show p396 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.47 Pittet and collaborators show that macrophages can remove anti-PD1 antibodies from T cells, blunting their response, whereas Weissman and colleagues demonstrate that macrophages also express PD1 on their surface, which impairs their phagocytic activity. PDF Leukaemia: Unravelling the heterogeneity of cancer stem cells p397 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.44 Giustacchini, Thongjuea, et al. have developed a method to sensitively detect somatic mutations and analyze whole transcriptomes of the same single cell. Application of this technique to chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patient samples revealed heterogeneous CML stem cell populations with likely roles in CML progression and resistance to therapy.

REVIEWS		Top
Imaging of anticancer drug action in single cells Miles A. Miller & Ralph Weissleder p399 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.41 This Review summarizes developments in the imaging of in vivo anticancer drug action, with a focus on microscopy approaches at the single-cell level and translational lessons for the clinic. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | Supplementary information
Transposable elements in cancer Kathleen H. Burns p415 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.35 Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) transposable elements are active in the human genome. In this Review, Burns describes how the retrotransposition activity of LINE-1 in cancer genomes can result in somatically acquired insertions that mark evolving tumour clones.

Turning the tide in myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms Michael W. N. Deininger, Jeffrey W. Tyner & Eric Solary p425 | doi:10.1038/nrc.2017.40 This Review describes our current understanding of the relationship between genotype and phenotype in myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) and discusses how this knowledge could be used to inform strategies to develop more effective treatments and improve clinical success.
