Origin of Ewing sarcoma by embryonic reprogramming of neural crest to mesoderm
Using a zebrafish genetic model of Ewing sarcoma, Vasileva et al. provide evidence for a neural crest origin of the disease. These findings offer new insight into how a single oncogenic fusion can hij...

Transdifferentiation of endothelial progenitor cells into rhabdomyosarcoma defined by hedgehog signaling competence
Gadek et al. show that embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma formation is defined by the presence of primary cilia and limits SHH pathway competency in early endothelial progenitor cells that disappear during em...

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com)‬ paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social‬) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

Our study, led by Dr. Patricia Tiburcio, showed that blocking protein recycling may help fight anaplastic Wilms Tumor—a rare, aggressive childhood kidney cancer. Combining bortezomib with dactinomycin made tumors more sensitive to treatment in the lab. doi.org/10.1016/j.xc...

To dissect the gene regulatory networks used to build organisms, we need Perturb-seq-like tools that work in whole animals.

For this purpose, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, a tool that couples high-throughput CRISPR in zebrafish embryos with single-cell RNAseq.

MIC-Drop-seq: Scalable single-cell phenotyping of mutant vertebrate embryos
Pooled perturbation screens can reveal cellular regulatory networks, yet scaling these techniques for large-scale screens in animals remains challenging. To address this, we developed MIC-Drop-seq, wh...
