Normal and cancer-related functions of the p160 steroid receptor co-activator
(SRC) family
Jianming Xu, Ray-Chang Wu and Bert W. O'Malley
p615 | doi:10.1038/nrc2695
Recent work has indicated that the p160 SRC family of transcriptional
co-activators are subject to amplification and overexpression in various
human cancers. This Review discusses the molecular mechanisms responsible,
along with the mechanisms by which SRCs promote breast and prostate cancer
cell proliferation and survival.

Biological determinants of endocrine resistance in breast cancer
Elizabeth A. Musgrove and Robert L. Sutherland
p631 | doi:10.1038/nrc2713
The efficacy of endocrine therapies (such as tamoxifen) in breast cancer
is limited by intrinsic and acquired therapeutic resistance. What do we
know about the genetic lesions and molecular processes that determine
endocrine resistance in the clinic, and how can we use this to improve
therapy?

RecQ helicases: multifunctional genome caretakers
Wai Kit Chu and Ian D. Hickson
p644 | doi:10.1038/nrc2682
In recent years, there has been a tremendous advance in our understanding
of the cellular functions of individual RecQ helicases. This Review discusses
how these proteins might suppress genomic rearrangements, and therefore
function as 'caretaker' tumour suppressors.

Avoidable global cancer deaths and total deaths from smoking
Prabhat Jha
p655 | doi:10.1038/nrc2703
Death due to smoking - from cancer, vascular disease or tuberculosis -
is growing worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries,
in which the prevalence of smoking is increasing. How many people could die
from smoking before 2050 and how might this be avoided?

Environment-mediated drug resistance: a major contributor to minimal
residual disease
Mark B. Meads, Robert A. Gatenby and William S. Dalton
p665 | doi:10.1038/nrc2714
How does therapeutic resistance affect disease relapse? Here the authors
argue that the tumour microenvironment mediates a complex form of de novo
drug resistance and that adjuvant inhibition of key stromal factors could
prevent the emergence of therapeutic resistance and relapse.

Idiotype vaccines for lymphoma: proof-of-principles and clinical trial failures
Maurizio Bendandi
p675 | doi:10.1038/nrc2717
The failure of three Phase III randomized trials that assessed the efficacy
of anti-idiotype vaccines for the treatment of follicular lymphoma has raised
many questions and controversies. In this article, Maurizio Bendandi expresses
his thoughts on these findings and argues that new trials are necessary.

New Initiatives at The EMBO Journal
Starting with manuscripts submitted in 2009, The EMBO Journal now publishes
referee reports and author responses for all accepted manuscripts online.
This Transparent Editorial Process initiative also includes statistics on
manuscript handling and follow-up analysis on rejected manuscripts.
In order to encourage citation of relevant primary literature, The EMBO Journal
is also now allowing unlimited references.
