Thrilled to share my 1st brainchild, out today @naturegenet.bsky.social 🚀 Been hearing a lot about fetal-like states lately? We uncover the molecular mechanisms, functional significance and clinical relevance of #oncofetal reprogramming in CRC. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (rdcu.be/d9iSN) a 🧵
I have two open positions (wet and dry lab) to work on phenotypic plasticity and therapy resistance. Come join a vibrant team in a vibrant city!

Nice paper from @sleemmz.bsky.social et al underscoring the importance of stem cell transdetermination in CRC. RXR, YAP, and AP1 signalling collectively control access to revival stem cells and inhibition of these nodes limits plasticity to improve chemosensitivity.

Oncofetal reprogramming drives phenotypic plasticity in WNT-dependent colorectal cancer - Nature Genetics
Oncofetal (OnF) reprogramming, driven by YAP and AP-1, induces phenotypic plasticity and therapy resistance in WNT-dependent colorectal cancer (CRC). Targeting the OnF state in combination with chemot...

A shared meal, a kiss on the cheek: these social acts bring people together — and bring their microbiomes together, too. …. It is fascinating how our microbiome is shaped! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy with the move to🦋 ! I hope we can use this platform as a fresh start to foster meaningful scientific discussions and collegiality, rather than superficial praise or unproductive disagreements.
