Regulation of immunopathology in hepatitis B virus infection
10.1038/nm.3873 2015-06-04 In the liver there is a fine balance between immune surveillance of blood-borne infections and regulation of immunopathology. A new study identifies a role for granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in limiting T cell–mediated immunopathology in hepati... |

Clonal evolution and resistance to EGFR blockade in the blood of colorectal cancer patients
10.1038/nm.3870 2015-06-01 By monitoring cfDNA, the authors reveal the dynamic adaption of clonal populations in colorectal cancer patients treated with anti-EGFR therapy, suggesting that therapeutic re-challenge may have some benefit. |

Epigenetic activation of a cryptic TBC1D16 transcript enhances melanoma progression by targeting EGFR
10.1038/nm.3863 2015-06-01 Epigenetic inactivation of a Rab GTPase activating protein confers metastatic properties in melanoma, and it correlates with poor prognosis but better sensitivity to therapy by targeting EGFR signaling. |

Negative feedback-defective PRPS1 mutants drive thiopurine resistance in relapsed childhood ALL.
Nat. Med. 21 , 563-71, (2015) 2015-06-01 Relapse is the leading cause of mortality in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Among chemotherapeutics, thiopurines are key drugs in ALL combination therapy. Using whole-exome sequencing, we identified relapse-specific mutations in the phospho... |
