🔬Researchers from @HMar_research & @hmarpath have identified a key mechanism behind colon cancer metastasis.
🧬A lack of the IKKα protein enables tumour cells to cluster together & survive during dissemination.

📣Happy to start the year by sharing our team’s latest work on the development of dormant hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), now available on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
We show that a population of dormant HSCs with high regenerative capacity is established in the embryo.

Happy to share our minimal fetal-like gene signatures (ColoStem & EpiColoStem) that identify high-risk colorectal tumors in >1,100 patients and are measurable by qPCR in tissue and plasma, enabling patient stratification for future targeted therapies.

Desxifren els esdeveniments genètics que desencadenarien una leucèmia en pacients d’un trastorn rar: la deficiència en GATA2🧬
L’estudi s’ha fet gràcies a models avançats del trastorn fets pels investigadors, una eina clau en la recerca d'ara endavant

ALT Anna Bigas Associate Editor, Development Hospital de Mar Research Institute (HMRIB) and Josep Carreras Lukaemia Research Institute (IJC), Spain "I look forward to handling appers on developmental haematopoiesis and haematopoietic stem cells. I can also handle Notch signalling papers in different systems, as well as papers on cancer and leukaemia mechanisms." Key topics: development and disease, haematopoiesis, signalling, stem cells.

Check out this new research from the @BigSpinLab!
The authors found that IκBα accumulates specifically in the chromatin fraction of mPSCs.

🔬 Join us for the next @hmar_research-@UPFbiomed
Seminar!
🗓️15/07 📌Charles Darwin Room
Talks by @bigas_anna @BigSpinLab & @AMartinezArias @icreacommunity
👉researchmar.net/agenda_en/91…
ALT We invite you to the next Hospital del Mar Research Institute /MELIS UPF Seminar that will take place on Tuesday 15/07/2025 at 12:00h in the Charles Darwin Room. The seminar will consist of two talks, one by Anna Bigas, Stems cells and cancer research Group. Hospital del Mar Research Institute with the title "Using embryonic stem cells to understand blood development" and the other by Alfonso Martinez Arias, ICREA Senior researcher Universitat Pompeu Fabra under the title "Modelling mammalian gastrulation with Pluripotent stem cells."
🚀 New paper out! 🔬Discover how IκBα exerts distinct chromatin- and NF-κB-related regulatory functions, and how its chromatin-related activity restores intestinal stem cell function & differentiation 👉cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…
