Now online in Cancer Discovery @aacrjournals.bsky.social: Epigenetic and Transcriptional Programs Define #Osteosarcoma Subtypes and Establish Targetable Vulnerabilities - by Eunice López-Fuentes, Alejandro Sweet-Cordero, and colleagues doi.org/10.1158/2159... @ucsfchildrens.bsky.social

Are 90% of cancer-related deaths due to metastasis? Apparently the overuse of this percentage in reviews has created confusion and questioning of whether this is true. The answer, which is as always cancer type dependent, may be in these references that also people claim they cannot find.

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

Our lab is hiring!

This is for a postdoctoral position @ucl.ac.uk in Respiratory Medicine.

Basal cell of origin resolves neuroendocrine–tuft lineage plasticity in cancer Nature - Basal cells, rather than neuroendocrine cells, have been identified as the probable origin of small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine–tuft cancers, explaining...

Super pleased to announce our latest suggesting the cell of origin for #SCLC is most likely the basal cell @nature.com, not the accepted neuroendocrine cell. Implications for the earliest events in cancer, & providing new models of tuft-like cancer.

The cancer hijacking story expands.....
2 new reports of small cell lung cancer provide evidence for hijacking of neurons, formation of synapses, to promote tumor growth. May help to come up with therapies for this very aggressive, fatal form of cancer

Atul Butte died yesterday.
The world lost a giant.
A big bear of a man.
With a huge smile.
With love for everyone.
With energy that could power a room.
I loved everything about Atul.
I loved how he was always happy.
I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

I heard this morning that my informatics colleague Dr. Atul Butte passed after a battle with cancer. He was a giant in the field & inspired many of us over his distinguished career. He was a passionate champion of the power of big data & his impact on our field is immeasurable. RIP Atul & thanks.
