Very excited to share our latest research article published with @SpringerNature in @NatureComms. We show that in early #MDS, NK cells share mutations with the malignant clones, becoming dysfunctional and failing to eliminate aberrant stem cells. This leads to immune evasion and disease progression. Adoptive infusion of healthy donor #NK cells can restore immune surveillance offering a potential strategy for early intervention. It was an honor and a pleasure to collaborate with @CollaSimona on this work! Read here rdcu.be/ehll0 @MDAndersonNews #CCUS #MDS #NK #celltherapy

Dr. Simona Colla (@MDAndersonNews) shared groundbreaking preclinical research at #DAVAWhistler on SF3B1 as a new target for MDS-RS anemia, EIF2AK1 targeting, and the potential of series 3 inhibitors for selective treatments. Exciting progress in anemia therapy! #MDS #SCD

From January, 2 Nat Comm, 1 Cell Report Med, 1 review in Blood, and one editorial in Blood as corresponding. Okay, not Nature, but the best is yet to come. Do I finally recover after 4 years of family disasters? Forza Simo:)
