Researchers at Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University used advanced methyl NMR spectroscopy to reveal how dozens of cancer-associated mutations disrupt the long-range communication network that enables the tumor suppressor BAP1 to function, creating the largest experimental molecular map of BAP1 mutations to date. The findings uncover a previously hidden mechanism underlying cancer-associated BAP1 dysfunction and provide a foundation for developing future therapies that target protein dynamics and allosteric regulation rather than the active site alone.

Host genetics-driven expansion of invasive Escherichia coli in the gut microbiome exacerbated tumorigenesis by targeting Hippo pathways to induce cancer stemness via CD44 upregulation. Mouse models of Apc gene mutation and bacteria-epithelial cell cocultures provided proof of concept that invasive bacteria derived from commensal microbes enhanced epithelial clonogenicity. Our data support the use of bacterial precision medicine as an alternative strategy for managing colorectal cancers, even in the hereditary subset.

By quantitatively analyzing 100 soil samples collected across Fukushima Prefecture in 2011, researchers found that cesium-rich microparticles (CsMPs) were distributed over a wide area, with abundances ranging from 0 to 52.3 particles g⁻¹ and accounting for up to 61.9% of the total radioactivity in some samples. Their results further revealed that most CsMPs originated from a single radioactive plume released on 15 March 2011, whereas later emissions contained mainly water-soluble cesium rather than particulate CsMPs.
