Dynamic regulation of endogenous transcription factor hubs at single-molecule resolution. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
We found that LY2835219 and trabectedin significantly alter the nuclear distribution of endogenous EWS::FLI1, disrupting and mislocalizing EWS::FLI1 hubs, respectively. Together, our results reveal new insights into the assembly and regulation of endogenous EWS::FLI1 hubs at an unprecedented resolution. The methodology developed here will be useful for characterizing the functional hubs of many regular and pathological TFs in the future.

Activity of chemotherapy in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma: a multicentre retrospective analysis within the Italian Sarcoma Group network. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
This multicentre study confirms that anthracycline-based regimens show activity in MCS, with responses more in line with soft tissue sarcoma than Ewing sarcoma. Their benefit in localized disease remains uncertain, but (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy with Ewing-like regimens should be considered for patients eligible for surgery. In advanced disease, trabectedin may provide prolonged disease control after anthracyclines.

Bidirectional Regulation in the Tumour Microenvironment: The Interaction Between Tumour-Associated Macrophages and T Cells Reshapes the Paradigm of Cancer Immunotherapy. (PubMed, Immunology)
Based on this, the review systematically proposes innovative immunotherapy strategies targeting this key bidirectional interaction, including blocking the recruitment of TAMs (e.g., CCL2/CCR2, CXCL12/CXCR4 inhibitors), directly eliminating TAMs (e.g., CSF1R inhibitors, bisphosphonates, trabectedin), or reprogramming them into anti-tumour M1-type (e.g., CD40 agonists, TLR agonists, CD47-SIRPα axis blockers), and emphasises the great potential of combining these TAM-targeting strategies with immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies). These combined therapies aim to synergistically enhance efficacy and overcome the current challenges of drug resistance in immunotherapy, offering new hope for more durable and effective treatment for cancer patients. Additionally, the review looks forward to the application prospects of advanced cell therapies such as nanoparticle delivery systems and chimeric antigen receptor macrophages (CAR-M) in reshaping the TME and enhancing anti-tumour immune responses, providing multi-dimensional and in-depth theoretical basis and practical directions for future cancer immunotherapy.

Human fibrosarcoma cells selected for ultra-high doxorubicin resistance, acquire trabectedin cross-resistance, remain sensitive to recombinant methioninase, and have increased c-MYC expression. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The findings indicate that rMETase can overcome ultra-high doxorubicin resistance in fibrosarcoma cells, likely through targeting methionine addiction, a universal metabolic vulnerability of cancer. These results support the potential clinical application of methionine restriction therapy to treat doxorubicin-resistant STS.
