Excited to share our latest work on bioRxiv! Using cell-cycle dynamics and NIPBL depletion, we show that long-range enhancer interactions can form de novo without loop extrusion. Alternative mechanisms, including LDB1 and YY1, may play key roles.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Wild experience to have seen our story shared at the #ASH24 Plenary in San Diego by my wonderful co-lead @Shan_Liu_ ! Looking forward to further proving that we can enhance cancer treatment by modulating readily-actionable patient lifestyle factors.
A simple dietary supplement may provide a new approach to boost #CART cell function – hear more in the #ASH24 Plenary Session today. @MarcoRuella @MaayanLevy_Lab @PuneethGuru_ spr.ly/6015QKswz

Grateful to #ASH2024 for the chance to present our work on overcoming the absence of CD2:CD58 co-stimulation using an innovative PD1:iCD2 switch receptor. Thanks to my mentor @MarcoRuella and the @RuellaLab for their invaluable support. Excited to delve deeper into this approach!

Very excited to share this work that could not have been done without the help of @RaisBahrami and @arnabguonc ! Big thank you to The Oncologist for this opportunity!
High-sensitivity #ctDNA tests can be used to detect radiologically occult disease or minimal residual disease post-surgery & identify high-risk patients. This review summarizes current evidence, w/ focus on genitourinary tumors. @KartikPatel___ doi.org/10.1093/oncolo/oyae1…

The effectiveness of #CARTCellTherapy against a variety of cancers, including solid tumors, could be boosted greatly by using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to knock out the gene for CD5, according to research led by @PennCancer's Dr. @MarcoRuella. spr.ly/6012YGdWi

A discovery from PICI Investigators @Penn has revealed that deleting the CD5 gene in CAR T cells significantly enhances their antitumor activity across multiple cancer types, opening new avenues for more potent and effective immunotherapies. science.org/doi/10.1126/scii… (5/5)
