Context-dependent effects of CDKN2A and other 9p21 gene losses during the evolution of esophageal cancer
Nature Cancer - Ganguli et al. show that CDKN2A loss in Barrett’s esophagus prevents esophageal adenocarcinoma initiation by counterselecting subsequent TP53 loss and report context-dependent...

Our lab has done a lot of work with Imaging Mass Cytometry (with more to come soon 👀), so it's great to see Spatial Proteomics announced as Nature Methods' Method of the Year for 2024! Exciting time for the field and lots of advancements to come www.nature.com/articles/s41...
