In this issue of , McRae et al report that loss of plant homeodomain finger 6 () increases the ability of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to sustain long-term engraftment and can specifically synergize with the oncogenic homeobox transcription factor TLX3 to cause lymphoid neoplasms.

Understanding the role of transcription and transcription factors (TFs) in cellular identity and disease, such as cancer, is essential. However, comprehensive data resources for cell line-specific TF-to-target gene annotations are currently limited. To address this, we employed a straightforward method to define regulons that capture the cell-specific aspects of TF binding and transcript expression levels.

Genetic alterations to serine-threonine kinase 11 () have been implicated in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and tumorigenesis. Further exploration of the context-specific roles of liver kinase B1 (LKB1; encoded by ) observed that it regulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinases. Given that both migration and proliferation are enhanced with the loss of LKB1 activity combined with the prevalence of genetic alterations in cancer biopsies, LKB1 was marked as a tumor suppressor.

Individuals with metabolic syndrome have a high risk of developing cardiovascular disorders that is closely tied to visceral adipose tissue dysfunction, as well as an altered interaction between adipose tissue and the cardiovascular system. In metabolic syndrome, adipose tissue dysfunction is associated with increased hypertrophy, reduced vascularization, and hypoxia of adipocytes, leading to a pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory environment. Among the pathways regulating adipose tissue homeostasis is the wingless-type mammary tumor virus integration site family (Wnt) signaling pathway, with both its canonical and non-canonical arms.

This review assesses Poland's activities in preventing and managing human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases, summarizing information from the 2023 HPV Prevention and Control Board meeting. Progress in primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention identifies opportunities to strengthen control of cervical cancer. Poland's national HPV vaccination program, launched in June 2023, initially achieved suboptimal coverage.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major cause of cancer deaths globally, with complex causes and significant genetic variations.
- ARID1A mutations, found in about 7.9% of HCC cases, often lead to tumor aggressiveness, larger sizes, and worse patient outcomes due to their loss-of-function effects.
- The dual role of ARID1A as both a tumor suppressor and facilitator of early tumor development highlights its importance in HCC, suggesting that tailored therapies targeting its functions could improve treatment effectiveness.
