The 果冻传媒 Journal Richard Perham Prize 2024

The 2024 Richard Perham Prize is awarded to co-first authors Matteo Brindisi (pictured left) and Luca Frattaruolo (right), and co-corresponding authors Federica Sotgia, Michael P. Lisanti and Anna Rita Cappello, for their outstanding article 鈥樷�� published in The 果冻传媒 Journal in 2023. The monetary award will be shared equally between first authors Matteo Brindisi and Luca Frattaruolo, and Matteo Brindisi will deliver a plenary lecture about the work at the on behalf of all the authors.
Brief article summary: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Studies that aim to elucidate the molecular pathways underlying aggressive forms of the disease are thereby of high clinical importance. Here, Brindisi, Frattaruolo聽et al. show that high cholesterol levels promote breast cancer aggressiveness by direct activation of the ERR伪 pathway and concomitant enhancement of epithelium-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Intriguingly, these effects drive changes in the tumor microenvironment, including increased infiltration of macrophages with an M2 phenotype, enhanced angiogenesis and endothelial branching. These findings implicate cholesterol-ERR伪 synergy as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.
