🥳 We are excited to share the first publication from the Bohlen Lab! "Somatic deficiency of the human E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL in leukocytes impairs B but not T cell development and function" www.nature.com/articles/s41... together with the Tangye Lab and @bloodgenes.bsky.social and many more! 1/n

Somatic deficiency of the human E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL in leukocytes impairs B cell but not T cell development and function - Nature Immunology
Bohlen and colleagues report that the E3 ubiquitin ligase CBL is necessary for the development, tolerance and activation of B cells in humans, unlike in mice where CBL deficiency results in loss of T ...

What protects some people from leukemia? Thrilled to share my work at @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, now published in @science.org. We identify an inherited genetic variant that protects stem cells from blood cancers by reducing risk of CHIP. t.co/ExgWIJQe6y 🧵👇(1/n)

Out today in @science.org! What if you could chart cells' regulatory programs at unprecedented resolution? In my work with Jorge Martin-Rufino from the @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, we dissect the genome’s control circuits and find where key genetic variation hides bit.ly/3YhBMoO

Transcription factor networks disproportionately enrich for heritability of blood cell phenotypes
Most phenotype-associated genetic variants map to noncoding regulatory regions of the human genome, but their mechanisms remain elusive in most cases. We developed a highly efficient strategy, Perturb...

#WeekendRead! #LiveForever! Ramalingam Butler &co show @ #Science #Immunology that during #inflammaging thrombospondin-1 drives #interferon signatures & reduces detoxification pathways in hematopoietic stem cells causing loss of self-renewal, increased myeloid differentiation & systemic inflammation

Suppression of thrombospondin-1–mediated inflammaging prolongs hematopoietic health span
Deletion of thrombospondin-1 prevents inflammaging and preserves blood stem cell fitness during aging.

Stem cell-like states confer poor outcomes in blood cancer—but what mechanisms drive this and how can they be therapeutically targeted? In our new preprint, we show how a single TF represses one enhancer to maintain a subset of high-risk leukemias: 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What Happens When Some Cells Are More Dad Than Mom (and Vice Versa)?
A new study shows that some of our cells favor genes of one parent or the other and can explain a longstanding mystery of why some people with disease-causing genes experience no symptoms.
