  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript provides a comprehensive unbiased analysis of the fucosylation secretome and correlates with drug response in cancer. It uses a combination of bioinformatic based analyses of multiple datasets and cell based data to identify changes in the secretome and correlates this to drug responses to several targeted therapies.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This research explored the role that BCL6 exerts on chemotherapy resistance in solid tumors other than previously reported hematological malignancies. The study also implicates the IFN-BCL6-PTEN axis as an antagonism target for overcoming resistance. This paper will be interesting to scientists who are specialists in cancer chemoresistance and oncological pharmacology.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This study evaluates the use of senolytics and senostatic agents on post-irradiation-induced frailty. The authors studied the effect of navitoclax, dasatinib/quercitin and metformin on several frailty measures, cognitive function, neuroinflammation, liver function to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of these treatments. This manuscript has strong translational implications and will be of interest to those working in the aging and cancer therapy fields. This study provides potential new therapeutic options for those developing frailty after radiation treatment.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This is an interesting study that reveals a completely new mechanism by which inhaled fine particles may promote lung tumor development. The authors provide direct evidence that protein corona on those foreign objects can elicit such adverse effects. Their findings highlight the importance of the corona-endowed, 'new' bioactivity of nanomaterials in vivo - and even in a particular tissue-lungs.

• Curated by eLife

  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript describes a model of Ewing sarcoma , which represents an improvement upon previous zebrafish sarcoma models and the data suggest that the methods employed yield tumours that resemble human disease. This new model may be used to better understand sarcoma progression so that new therapeutic targets may be realised.
