Delighted to share our manuscript - the first look at the epi-transcriptome in DMG!
We discovered that RNA methylation is a critical regulator in DMG. nature.com/articles/s41419-0…

Very excited about this paper - new way to shut down transcription in DMG - looking now at clinical translation
Inhibitors of the proteins FACT and BET disrupt transcription in #DiffuseMidlineGlioma and extend survival in mice, hinting this combo can suppress hard-to-target epigenetic drivers of this pediatric cancer. @holly_holliday_ @ProfDavidZieg @KidsCancerInst scim.ag/3ZfoysL

Congrats to the team for our work - on the cover of Science Translational Medicine! One more step forward to find effective treatments for #DIPG. Thanks to all our funders - See details here:
New in @ScienceTM 🧬 On the cover!
Our work on diffuse midline glioma (#DMG #DIPG), an incurable paediatric brain cancer driven by epigenetic changes. We asked: Can targeting chromatin slow tumour growth?🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…

Together, these results support dual FACT BET inhibition as a promising DMG therapy, hitting both tumour-intrinsic vulnerabilities and immune defenses.
