TL;DR: The original Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia is expanded with deeper characterization of over 1,000 cell lines, including genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data, and integration with drug-sensitivity and gene-dependency data, which reveals potential targets for cancer drugs and associated biomarkers.

TL;DR: The ability to interrogate ex vivo response to PD-1 blockade using murine- and patient-derived organotypic tumor spheroids (MDOTS/PDOTS) is demonstrated, which represents a novel platform to evaluate ICB using established murine models as well as clinically relevant patient specimens.

TL;DR: Drug-induced apoptosis in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer is prevented by blockade of ERK1/2 reactivation following EGFR TKI treatment by combined EGFR/MEK inhibition, which uncovers cells that survive by entering a senescence-like dormant state characterized by high YAP/TEAD activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to chart the gene expression and clonal landscape of tumor-infiltrating T cells across 31 patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type glioblastoma and IDH mutant glioma.

TL;DR: This study shows that in SDH-deficient tumours, displacement of CTCF insulators by DNA methylation activates oncogene expression, illustrating how epigenetic alterations can drive oncogenic signalling in the absence of kinase mutations.
