Chronic inflammation has long been linked to cancer, but how is that history retained in the tissue? In a new #Nature study, Nagaraja et al show that colitis leaves a lasting epigenetic memory in colonic stem cells, which persists after inflammation resolves & primes for subsequent tumor growth 🧪🔬

Remembrance of inflammations past
Chronic inflammation increases the risk of colon cancer. This inflammation drives epigenetic changes in the nucleus of stem cells that promote tumour formation.

Tu et al. present a systematic analysis of the tumor microenvironment across 14,837 breast cancers, identifying distinct cellular patterns that predict disease-specific survival independently of genomic and intrinsic subtypes. Characterizing microenvironment composition may provide critical prognostic markers that can complement current molecular classification for treatment selection and preventing recurrence.
