Today, we’re launching a new company, ALTx Therapeutics. Founded by Simon Boulton, the company will develop the first precision therapies targeting ALT cancers, in partnership with Slingshot Therapeutics Limited and @crhorizons.bsky.social. Find out more ➡️ www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-02...
A group of about 30 people pose together in a bright office space.

🚀 New preprint alert! We uncover SLFN11 as a molecular gatekeeper that restricts alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by sensing telomere-associated replication stress and triggering apoptosis. 📄 Read the manuscript here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

SLFN11 restricts escape from telomere crisis to prevent alternative lengthening of telomeres
The tRNA nuclease SLFN11 is epigenetically silenced in ~50% of treatment-naive tumours and is the strongest predictor of chemoresistance but why it is frequently inactivated in cancer is unknown. To a...

Have a read of our latest work on a mechanism by which SLFN11, a gene mutated in 50% of cancers, can be activated. Implications for why cancers don't want functional SLFN11 around

Happy to share a review written with the wonderful @jstingele.bsky.social on transcription-coupled DPC repair, featuring an overview of new methods, close comparison with TC-NER, comments on clinical implications and plenty of discussion of the unknowns. www.cell.com/trends/cell-...

Transcription-coupled repair of DNA–protein crosslinks
DNA–protein crosslinks (DPCs) are highly toxic DNA lesions that are relevant to multiple human diseases. They are caused by various endogenous and environmental agents, and from the actions of enzymes...

Telomere function and regulation from mouse models to human ageing and disease - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Telomere dysfunction, usually owing to shortening, activates cellular senescence and can contribute to age-associated diseases and cancer. Mouse models are crucial for telomere research, but human and...

Here’s my spreadsheet of starter packs (>80!) related to broadly ‘mechanistic biology’ plus some intriguing extras Complete with collective nouns I’ve been tracking these but now can’t keep up Hope it’s helpful 2/2 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

ok, I tried to make a starter pack on genome stability/DNA replication/DNA repair etc. Sorry if I couldn't find someone, please nominate yourself and your colleagues in comments or DMs, looking forward to connecting with everyone! go.bsky.app/9jdDNxG
