Structural mechanism of H3K27 demethylation and crosstalk with heterochromatin markers Chien-Chu Lin et al. reveal the structure of the histone demethylase KDM6B bound to the nucleosome. The study shows how KDM6B is positioned for H3K27 demethylation and how heterochromatin features suc...

We used ~normal human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs) to test CDH1 loss (modeling ILC) vs inhibiting E-cadherin, i.e. genetic suppression vs signaling block, to define how CDH1 loss is fundamentally different that 'simply' losing E-cadh mediated cell contacts. I.e. is this ~EMT, or not? 2/n

As we learn more re CDH1 loss-induced lineage reprogramming, we can develop new risk assessment strategies for benign ILC precursors, build prevention strategies, and target "truncal" effects of CDH1 loss in overt ILC to target the changes that likely are important in every single cancer cell. 5/5

So CDH1 loss causes a lineage remodeling in normal HMEC, locking cells in a new luminal progenitor-like state. This may explain why nearly all ILC are luminal-type (i.e. ER+) and point to CDH1 loss as a critical "bottleneck" in breast oncogenesis specific to ILC. 4/n

We did a thing w @jostrander.bsky.social!
Over the last few years, we took a new direction into #lobular breast cancer oncogenesis. We know loss of the gene CDH1 (E-cadherin) is central to ILC, and is among its earliest oncogenic events. But why? How does this push normal breast toward cancer? 1/n

🚨 New podcast episode!

In this insightful and honest conversation, award winners Karin de Visser, Ido Amit and @martakova.bsky.social talk about their research, career journeys, and excitement for the future of cancer research:

If you're traveling this weekend (like I will for the EACR Congress in Lisbon) this is a great way to learn something new while waiting on trains and airports. The Cancer Researcher Podcast is available on all major podcast platforms!

As part of the Cancer Researchers to Watch – An Early Career Showcase, the EACR Early Career Researchers Council took a moment to brainstorm with the early-career EACR members in the audience strategies that would better support the next-generation cancer scientists.
