KDM6 Demethylases Contribute to EWSR1::FLI1-Driven Oncogenic Reprogramming in Ewing Sarcoma

Abstract. Ewing Sarcoma (EwS) is a highly aggressive tumor arising in bones and soft tissues driven by the fusion oncoprotein EWSR1::FLI1. This aberrant transcription factor binds to GGAA microsatelli...

🚨 New paper alert!

Sex and smoking bias in the selection of somatic mutations in human bladder

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

by @raquelbmi.bsky.social, @ferriol.bsky.social et al (in collaboration with Rosana Risques lab in @uwmedicine.bsky.social)

Sex and smoking bias in the selection of somatic mutations in human bladder - Nature

Sex bias and association with smoking history identified in the landscape of driver mutations and clonal expansions in normal human bladder tissue may explain the higher bladder cancer risk in men and smokers.

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.

Hello world! Kicking off my first post with some exciting news 📣 Our study on tobacco smoke-induced mutagenesis in head & neck cancer (HNC) is out today in
@naturegenet.bsky.social! rdcu.be/efNiH 🧬🔥
We uncover the multiple ways tobacco and alcohol drive HNC development. A short thread 🧵⬇️

The complexity of tobacco smoke-induced mutagenesis in head and neck cancer

Nature Genetics - Whole-genome sequencing and mutational signature analysis of 265 head and neck cancer samples collected from eight different countries provide insight into the vital contribution...

#PCBCommunity |🍰 Aquest matí, els #PCBakers han celebrat l’ #Endorfest en suport de la investigació per l’ #endometriosi, una malaltia ginecològica que afecta el 10% de les dones en edat fèrtil a Espanya🌸. Els fons recaptats es destinaran a la recerca que porta a terme @hospitalclinic.bsky.social 🤝

El proper dimarts el #PCBakers dedicat a la recerca per l'Endometriosi.
Totes les contribucions aniran per a l' #Endofest i per a la recerca que es fa a l'Hospital Clínic.
Gràcies Bet @efigbo.bsky.social per organitzar-ho!!!!
