1/ Delighted to share our paper out today in Nature: ZFP36L2 orchestrates stress-adaptive plasticity in regeneration and cancer. We found the switch that lets differentiated cells rewind into stem cells — in gut repair, and in metastasis. 🧵 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Very excited to have been awarded a Cancer Grand Challenge grant as part of team REWIRE-CAN @cancergrand.bsky.social to develop new approaches to combat cancer #plasticity. Our goal: to see all #colorectalcancer patients become colorectal cancer survivors.

In a new paper, we introduce Metient, a new method to reconstruct the migration history of metastatic clones, and learn cancer-type specific patterns of metastatic spread, from bulk or single-cell sequencing data. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Immigrant workers, on average, are earning 17.9% less than a country’s native population, according to a paper in Nature. Three-quarters of the pay gap between the two correspond to a lack of accessible high-paying jobs for immigrants. go.nature.com/4nYgb0a #econsky 🧪
This is figure 2, which shows immigrant–native earnings differences after basic adjustments and within industry, occupation, establishment and job by world region of origin.

Loss of colonic fidelity enables multilineage plasticity and metastasis - Nature
The chromatin-remodelling enzyme ATRX and the transcription factor HNF4A are identified as pivotal regulators of colonic epithelial identity, with roles in metastasis in colorectal cancer.
