Evolutionary paths towards metastasis
Nature Reviews Cancer, Published online: 22 April 2025; doi:10.1038/s41568-025-00814-xIn this Perspective, Kamila Naxerova discusses how genetic analyses of primary tumours and matched metastases can distinguish between competing metastasis evolution models, arguing that further insights into human metastasis biology could be enabled by a framework that rigorously quantifies whether metastases descend from a nonrandom selection of primary tumour lineages.

Trump pauses funding for anti-HIV program that prevented 26 million AIDS deaths
On Friday, a memorandum signed by Marco Rubio called for a 90-day cessation of foreign aid. That would likely put on hold the work of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.

Beyond genetics: driving cancer with the tumour microenvironment behind the wheel - Nature Reviews Cancer
In their Review article, Fuchs and colleagues discuss how a single or a few mutations in adult cells can lead to invasive cancers without a high mutational burden, demonstrating that non-genetic factors induce the epigenetic changes necessary for tumorigenesis.
