However, the mechanical interplay between phase transitions and dimension transitions, in particular wetting, remains elusive, despite being critical for understanding the onset of metastatic dissemination. This study shows that unjamming, mediated by the RAB5A GTPase, alters carcinoma spheroid fluidity, rigidity, and rewires adhesion mechanics to drive supracellular active wetting as a new mode of tumor expansion. Spheroid fluidification enhances the selective expression of integrin subunits and increases focal adhesion dynamics, inducing a fluid-like spreading behavior on specific matrix ligands. Notably, nanoscale regulation of integrin clustering can select for distinct phase transitions at the collective scale upon wetting. In this framework, fluidized spheroids polarize into cohesive \"supracells\", and maintain a stiff peripheral actin bundle as measured by nanomechanical mapping. Furthermore, a combination of Brillouin microscopy and 2.5D traction force analysis reveals a mechanical switch within the spheroid core, characterized by significant cell softening and a reduction in compressive forces exerted on the substrate, thereby mimicking the wetting of a liquid droplet.

Recent multi-omics studies highlight the prognostic value of disulfidptosis-related gene (DRG) signatures in pan-cancers; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying their biological functions and therapeutic relevance remain poorly defined. Herein, a DRG score model is constructed using LASSO Cox regression across 33 cancer types, and a nomogram incorporating the DRG score is developed for prognostic prediction. The tumor microenvironment, mutation profiles, and immunotherapy responses are analyzed. The DRG score serves as an independent prognostic factor across cancers, correlating with poor outcomes and malignant features. Glucose deprivation induces disulfidptosis in SLC7A11<sup>high</sup> cells (high SLC7A11 expression), especially in cancers with a high DRG score, such as ovarian cancer. Silencing INF2 prevents disulfidptosis and decreases susceptibility to irofulven, which can be reversed by GLUT inhibitors. SLC7A11 knockdown reduces disulfidptosis, restores ATP/NADPH levels, and protects the cytoskeleton under glucose deprivation, whereas INF2 knockdown impairs cell migration. Moreover, the DRG scores predict prognosis and therapeutic responses.
