🚨 New paper alert!
Sex and smoking bias in the selection of somatic mutations in human bladder

🗣️ Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social: “Healthy tissues accumulate many mutations throughout life, but what matters is not only how many there are, but which ones manage to outgrow the others and expand into clones, which are copies of the same cell carrying the same mutations.”

Researchers led by Dr. @nlbigas.bsky.social & Dr. Abel González-Pérez at #IRBBarcelona, and Dr. Rosana Risques at the University of Washington, have shown that #smoking and biological sex influence how normal cells evolve in healthy bladder tissue.

What is molecular profiling, and how is it reshaping cancer treatment? 🧬
Our latest video explains how analysing the genetic makeup of tumours helps predict treatment response and personalise care for better patient outcomes.

Today our colleague Bet Figuerola @efigbo.bsky.social , presented her work on the genomics analysis of a singular cancer patient at the Node Seminar session of #IRBBarcelona.
Genomics helps us to understand the origins and evolution of cancer contributing to knowledge with possible clinical impact.
Back after a few days in Lisbon for the annual #EACR2025 conference! Inspiring and great science. Glad for the opportunity to present our work, coming home with a bunch of new ideas! @bbglab.bsky.social @ferriol.bsky.social
