Breast cancer (BC) subtypes exhibit distinct epigenetic landscapes, with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacking effective targeted therapies. This study investigates histone biomarkers and therapeutic vulnerabilities across BC subtypes. The immunohistochemical profiling of >20 histone biomarkers, including histone modifications, modifiers, and oncohistone mutations, was conducted on a discovery cohort and a validation cohort of BC tissues, healthy controls, and cell line models.

Background: Millions worldwide are exposed to elevated levels of arsenic that significantly increase their risk of developing atherosclerosis, a pathology primarily driven by immune cells. While the impact of arsenic on immune cell populations in atherosclerotic plaques has been broadly characterized, cellular heterogeneity is a substantial barrier to in-depth examinations of the cellular dynamics for varying immune cell populations.
Objectives: This study aimed to conduct single-cell multi-omics profiling of atherosclerotic plaques in apolipoprotein E knockout () mice to elucidate transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in immune cells induced by arsenic exposure.

Ependymoma (EPN) is a common form of brain tumor in children, often resistant to available cytotoxic therapies. Molecular profiling studies have led to a better understanding of EPN subtypes and revealed a critical role of oncogenes ZFTA-RELA fusion and EPHB2 in supratentorial ependymoma (ST-EPN). However, the immune system's role in tumor progression and response to therapy remains poorly understood.

Cancer is a complex disease with heterogeneous mutational and gene expression patterns. Subgroups of patients who share a phenotype might share a specific genetic architecture including protein-protein interactions (PPIs). We developed the Atlas of Protein-Protein Interactions in Cancer (APPIC), an interactive webtool that provides PPI subnetworks of 10 cancer types and their subtypes shared by cohorts of patients.

Recent evidence has revealed that cancer is not solely driven by genetic abnormalities but also by significant metabolic dysregulation. Cancer cells exhibit altered metabolic demands and rewiring of cellular metabolism to sustain their malignant characteristics. Metabolic reprogramming has emerged as a hallmark of cancer, playing a complex role in breast cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis.
