    Abstract Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a biological phenomenon of cellular plasticity initially reported in embryonic development, has been increasingly recognized for its importance in cancer progression and metastasis. Despite tremendous progress being made in the past 2 decades in our understanding of the molecular mechanism and functional importance of EMT in cancer, there are several mysteries around EMT that remain unresolved. In this Unsolved Mystery, we focus on the variety of EMT types in metastasis, cooperative and collective EMT behaviors, spatiotemporal characterization of EMT, and strategies of therapeutically targeting EMT. We also highlight new technical advances that will facilitate the efforts to elucidate the unsolved mysteries of EMT in metastasis.

    Abstract Metastasis is a major contributor to cancer patient mortality. Tumour cells often develop phenotypic plasticity to successfully metastasize to different target organs. Recent progress in the study of bone metastasis has provided novel insight into the biological processes that drive the spread and growth of cancer cells in the bone. In this review, we provide a summary of how the bone marrow microenvironment promotes phenotypic plasticity of metastatic tumour cells and alters therapeutic responses. We highlight pivotal transformations in cellular status driven by plasticity, including mesenchymal-epithelial transition, acquisition of stem-like traits, and awakening from dormancy. Additionally, we describe the phenomenon of host-organ mimicry and metabolic rewiring that collectively serve as key attributes of disseminated tumour cells, enabling their successful colonization and growth within the bone marrow microenvironment.

    Abstract Development of cancer therapeutics has traditionally focused on targeting driver oncogenes. Such an approach is limited by toxicity to normal tissues and treatment resistance. A class of 'cancer fitness genes' with crucial roles in metastasis have been identified. Elevated or altered activities of these genes do not directly cause cancer; instead, they relieve the stresses that tumor cells encounter and help them adapt to a changing microenvironment, thus facilitating tumor progression and metastasis. Importantly, as normal cells do not experience high levels of stress under physiological conditions, targeting cancer fitness genes is less likely to cause toxicity to noncancerous tissues. Here, we summarize the key features and function of cancer fitness genes and discuss their therapeutic potential.

    Abstract In this paper, we propose the iterative numerical methods to calculate the conformal preimage domains for the specified logarithmic spiral slit regions and develop the applications of conformal mappings in the simulations of the flow around bodies. Firstly, we postulate that the boundaries of the preimage domains mapped onto logarithmic spiral slits are ellipses. The lengths of the long axes of ellipses and the coordinates of the centers are calculated using our iterative methods. Secondly, each type of the presented iterative method calculates numerical conformal mappings via solving the boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel. Finally, numerical examples show the convergence and availability of our iterative methods and display the simulations of the flow around the bodies as an application.

    Abstract Cancer metastasis, or the development of secondary tumors in distant tissues, accounts for the vast majority of fatalities in patients with breast cancer. Breast cancer cells show a striking proclivity to metastasize to distinct organs, specifically the lung, liver, bone, and brain, where they face unique environmental pressures and a wide variety of tissue-resident cells that together create a strong barrier for tumor survival and growth. As a consequence, successful metastatic colonization is critically dependent on reciprocal cross talk between cancer cells and host cells within the target organ, a relationship that shapes the formation of a tumor-supportive microenvironment. Here, we discuss the mechanisms governing organ-specific metastasis in breast cancer, focusing on the intricate interactions between metastatic cells and specific niche cells within a secondary organ, and the remarkable adaptations of both compartments that cooperatively support cancer growth. More broadly, we aim to provide a framework for the microenvironmental prerequisites within each distinct metastatic site for successful breast cancer metastatic seeding and outgrowth.

    Abstract Combining single-cell lineage tracing with RNA sequencing has provided unprecedented opportunities to prospectively explore metastatic dynamics in vivo. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Simeonov et al. developed the macsGESTALT lineage recording system to reveal that hybrid EMT states and S100 expression are associated with elevated metastatic abilities in a pancreatic cancer model.
