Congrats @floriangrebien.bsky.social and team for this great paper!

🧬 New strategy to fight #AML: A study led by @floriangrebien.bsky.social & team at Vetmeduni, @stanna-ccri.bsky.social & CeMM identified the protein SPOP as a direct regulator of the stability of NUP98 fusion oncoproteins, a potential target for new therapies.

Human RPA is an essential telomerase processivity factor for maintaining telomeres Telomerase counteracts telomere shortening by repeatedly adding DNA repeats to chromosome ends. We identified the replication protein A (RPA) heterotrimer as a telomerase processivity factor critical ...

Our paper in Science is out! @souravagrawal.bsky.social, @rlynn.bsky.social, @susvirkar.bsky.social, and the rest of the team show human RPA is a telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our thinking about telomerase regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Canagliflozin synergises with serine restriction mediating anti-leukaemic effects in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) is a haematological malignancy commonly driven by NOTCH1 activating mutations. A concomitant feature asso…

Really pleased to share the labs first publication in paediatric T-cell leukaemia. We find that the type 2 diabetes drug canagliflozin possesses anti-leukaemic effects that can be enhanced via dietary restriction of serine.

Bye bye X, hello Bluesky !

This is not a HiC map! Ever wondered if multiple enhancers get activated simultaneously? We measured chromatin accessibility on thousands of molecules by nanopore to create genome-wide co-accessibility maps. Proud of @mathias-boulanger.bsky.social @kasitc.bsky.social Biology in the thread👇

Congrats to Kira Young who spearheaded this work & all contributing authors. This was a fun (and long!) collaboration with @marcmansour.bsky.social, @challenlab.bsky.social, @ericpietras.bsky.social, Kelsey Fisher-Wellman, @keisukeito-lab.bsky.social & Steven Chan

Thanks Sunniyat - great to be part of the Bluesky community- like a breath of fresh air !

This is fantastic mechanistic work Dorien, Ruud and team! Congrats

For my new followers! Focal deletions of noncoding regions in cancer genomes can have unexpected consequences. Out now in @bloodjournal.bsky.social, we’ve discovered a novel mechanism of oncogene activation whereby focal deletion of a ‘promoter tether’ leads to aberrant expression of IRX3 in T-ALL.👇
