🚨📢❗So proud and excited to share our latest work, "Clonal Hematopoiesis Dynamics and Evolutionary Fitness During Cancer Treatment Impact Clinical Outcomes", now available: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Clonal Hematopoiesis Dynamics and Evolutionary Fitness During Cancer Treatment Impact Clinical Outcomes
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is the age-related expansion of mutated hematopoietic stem cells without other hematologic abnormalities. In patients with solid tumors, CH is associated with higher mortalit...

🚨🚨 Our new manuscript is now available online!
Co-led with the awesome @mingxiangteng.bsky.social and not possible without our amazing team. 🧪🧬

Peripheral blood somatic mosaicism and clonal hematopoiesis across ancestry backgrounds
Somatic mosaicism (SM), the presence of somatic mutations, is classified as clonal hematopoiesis (CH) when it occurs in hematopoietic cells at an age-related rate. CH is associated with risk for hemat...

Well this is cool!! 😎
Delighted to share a major update on our work investigating age-related deceleration in clonal haematopoiesis.

Takehome: Widespread and substantial deceleration in fitness with age!

Amazing effort by PhD student Hamish MacGregor 💪

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

As we can expect PubMed dysfunction more and more or to be swamped with fake journals I suggest you get acquainted to this nice alternative: europepmc.org
Europe PMCHome - Europe PMC
Europe PMC is an archive of life sciences journal literature.

AND 👶🏼👶🏼👶🏼 during the same timeframe AND no local support 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️
Raise your hand if you’re an assistant professor who has now had to journey through a global pandemic AND a constitutional crisis, all while trying to obtain tenure 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’m tired.
