Early findings from a first-in-human trial of VLS-1488, an oral KIF18A inhibitor, show promising anti-tumor activity in heavily treated ovarian cancer. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Presented by Dr. Ecaterina Dumbrava at #ASCO25. #EndCancer

(1/2) A very exciting milestone for @VolastraTx and the field of #Chromosomal_Instability. Early escalation data for our KIF18A inhibitor, VLS-1488, show excellent safety and promising efficacy in heavily pre-treated ovarian cancer patients. businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Our new study published today @Nature uncovers that Transgelin 2 preserves T cell lipid metabolism and anti-tumor activity. Transgelin 2 is silenced in dysfunctional TILs, and restoring its expression enhances CAR-T cell therapy in #OvarianCancer 👇nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Together with @CharlesSwanton, delighted to share that our new tool, MHC Hammer - which can detect different types of HLA disruption - mutation, loss, RNA repression and alt. splicing - is now out in #NatureGenetics and available to use…nature.com/articles/s41588-0…...

1/n 🚨 🧬Our paper on the role of #mitochondria and free radicals in promoting the collapse of #Cancer #micronuclei is out in @ScienceMagazine today. A story led by the brilliant @melodyDiBona it started with a simple question: why do micronuclei rupture?

Micronuclear collapse triggers chronic STING signaling that drives metastasis. But how do they rupture?? Beautiful work from the @Samuel_Bakhoum lab, led by brilliant physicist turned hard core cell biologist @melodyDiBona, explains how..
29 Aug 2024
Micronuclei are frequently observed in tumor cells as a result of aberrant chromosomal separation. Two new Science studies investigate the cellular processes involved in micronuclear collapse.

Very happy to have DNA O-MAP out!
The DNA version of this work, started from a simple premise: how can we measure the proteome at any genomic loci in (nearly) any cell?
This was a great collaboration with @oligopain, and led by Yuzhen Liu and @CD_McGann.
