Very excited to share 3D Live-Seq. Integrated live-cell imaging and single-cell DNAseq of the same tumor #organoids. We reconstruct evolving tumor genomes over multiple consecutive cell divisions to map the tempo and patterns of karyotype diversification go.nature.com/2UfgAls

1) Excited to share a ms entitled: Integrin-activating Yersinia protein Invasin sustains long-term expansion of primary epithelial cells as 2D #organoid sheets. It describes an alternative to #Matrigel

Super happy to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! We've discovered how the breast is protected against tumor initiation—though it comes at a cost. 📰Read all about it here: bit.ly/3MSxoa1 🏥@vib_ccb @Onco_KULeuven @NKI_nl @vanRheenen_Lab @BenSimons_Lab

Big milestone for our group @EMIL_DKFZ @DKFZ:
We are thrilled to be among the recipients of an ERC Starting Grant from @ERC_Research #ERCStG! In the #METABAC project, we will explore how gut #bacteria contribute to #colorectal #cancer #metastasis formation. (1/12)

1. Delighted to present work from my time in @AndreaSottoriva's lab, now in @NatureCancer! A big effort also led by @javierfermat and Nick Trahearn.
We combined genomics digital pathology to measure evolution in a prostate cancer (PCa) clinical trial.

How do mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) cancers trade off the evolutionary costs and benefits of elevated mutation rates?
Delighted to share our paper on adaptive mutability in MMRd colorectal cancer (CRC) @NatureGenet

Very much love this story to demonstrate that adaptability during tumor evolution can also be achieved at the DNA level by reversible DNA mutations 🔥

Hypermutator cancers are defined by increased mutation rates.
But do mutation rates evolve with time during tumour growth?⏱️
In this work @NatureGenet we show that hypermutator cancers use an unexpected set of genetic gear switches to adapt mutation rates to immune selection.

Looking forward to present tomorrow morning at #FEBS2024. I’ll discuss our work on real-time single-cell signaling activities in #organoids, drug response and our latest push to advance the technologies involved @UMCU_CMM @oncodeinstitute

Our lastest study "Targeted Perturbation of Signaling-Driven Condensates" is now live on Molecular Cell. We've used small peptides to specificaly disrupt β-catenin condensates, resulting in decreased transcription and inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. 🔬💡 📖 Read more:

Is #cancer drug resistance heritable or plastic? Genetic or non-genetic? How do we tell those apart? We just begun measuring the temporal dynamics of evolving cancers using controllable patient-derived #organoids. We need more experiments theory! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We welcome Sjors Middelkamp as our newest postdoc. He got off to a great start this week, being immediately awarded the NWO talent grant ‘Veni’ to continue his research on single-cell genome sequencing that he developed in the @BoxtelLab.
@UMCU_CMM @NWOFunding @oncodeinstitute
3 Aug 2023
NWO has awarded Veni funding of up to EUR 280,000 to 188 promising researchers from the full breadth of science. This will allow the laureates to further develop their own research ideas over the next three years.

I am super happy to share the first work of the lab on #gastruloids. All started with @MariettaLHartl that was extremely brave to start a new project on early development. bit.ly/3ocuTqj With @SimonSuppinger they showed mechanisms of gastruloid development
22 May 2023
Now out in @CellStemCell: researchers in the lab of @priscaliberali mapped the development of 3D clusters of cells that mimic aspects of early embryonic stages, providing insights into how complex patterns emerge from a homogeneous population of cells.
