Early findings from a first-in-human trial of VLS-1488, an oral KIF18A inhibitor, show promising anti-tumor activity in heavily treated ovarian cancer. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Presented by Dr. Ecaterina Dumbrava at #ASCO25. #EndCancer

Our new study published today @Nature uncovers that Transgelin 2 preserves T cell lipid metabolism and anti-tumor activity. Transgelin 2 is silenced in dysfunctional TILs, and restoring its expression enhances CAR-T cell therapy in #OvarianCancer 👇nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Together with @CharlesSwanton, delighted to share that our new tool, MHC Hammer - which can detect different types of HLA disruption - mutation, loss, RNA repression and alt. splicing - is now out in #NatureGenetics and available to use…nature.com/articles/s41588-0…... 🧵below

1/n 🚨 🧬Our paper on the role of #mitochondria and free radicals in promoting the collapse of #Cancer #micronuclei is out in @ScienceMagazine today. A story led by the brilliant @melodyDiBona it started with a simple question: why do micronuclei rupture? science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Micronuclear collapse triggers chronic STING signaling that drives metastasis. But how do they rupture?? Beautiful work from the @Samuel_Bakhoum lab, led by brilliant physicist turned hard core cell biologist @melodyDiBona, explains how..
Micronuclei are frequently observed in tumor cells as a result of aberrant chromosomal separation. Two new Science studies investigate the cellular processes involved in micronuclear collapse. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/8bF

Very happy to have DNA O-MAP out! The DNA version of this work, started from a simple premise: how can we measure the proteome at any genomic loci in (nearly) any cell? This was a great collaboration with @oligopain, and led by Yuzhen Liu and @CD_McGann. 1/8🧵
