Our study on histone tail cleavage is out today in @NatureGenet . We found KDM4C prevents CTSL-mediated histone H3 tail clipping by modulating its recruiter GRHL2, reducing oxidative stress and promoting basal tumor growth. Congrats to @ZheqiL @nellage

We are thrilled to see our study about ZBTB7A in basal breast cancer is out in @CellReports . We identified ZBTB7A as an novel interactor and regulator of KDM5 using CRISPR screen, and characterized its functional impact on NFkB pathway. Congrats to all!

We're excited to share that our study on aging has been published today in @Cancer_Cell. We used rat model to identify midkine as a promising driver in breast cancer tumorigenesis. Kudos to all the coauthors especially @yan_pengze !

Thrilled to see our paper on KMT2C/2D in TNBC metastasis is out today in @NatureCellBio. We found loss of KMT2C/2D promotes brain metastasis via KDM6A actviation and MMP3 upregulation. Congrats to our twitterless Marco and all the coauthors!

We are thrilled to see our IBC clinical trial study is officially out in @BCRJournal. We found the use JAK1/2 inhibitor Ruxolitinib in TN-IBC resulted in decreased pSTAT3 but lack of clinical benefits. Comb with immunotherapy may need to be considered.
