Blake Wilde @brwilde.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Big news for the new year! The Wilde Lab is launching @roswellpark.bsky.social. Our focus is metabolism and tumor initiation. We use oncometabolite-driven tumors to study mechanisms of initiation and identify tumor-preventative treatments. Excited to build a team of curious, innovative scientists! 1102

Blake Wilde @brwilde.bsky.social · 25/11/2024(2/2) This paper describes a shift from epigenetic to genetic-driven tumorigenesis. Tumor etiology and evolution are important, and will be necessary for helping us know the right times to treat with mut-IDH inhibitors. Great paper. 020
Blake Wilde @brwilde.bsky.social · 25/11/2024(1/2) I’ve been happy but puzzled by the recent success of mut-IDH inhibitors. Some tumors lose mutant allele through CNA yet continue to progress, suggesting mut-IDH is essential for initiation but may be dispensable for progression. Seems to be context dependent. www.nature.com/articles/s43...nature.comEvolving cell states and oncogenic drivers during the progression of IDH-mutant gliomas - Nature CancerWu et al. perform single-cell analyses to explore the switch from low-grade to high-grade isocitrate-dehydrogenase-mutant glioma and show that it is characterized by oligodendrocyte progenitor cell-li... 190
