Congratulations to @claudiocantu81.bsky.social and team!
We had previously shown that TBX3 and #WNT cooperate in limb #DevBio

We now have a shocking finding, just published in @pnas.org

TBX3 physically engages with β-catenin to drive metastasis genes in #ColorectalCancer (CRC)

The developmental factor TBX3 engages with the Wnt/β-catenin transcriptional complex in colorectal cancer to regulate metastasis genes

Kicking off an exciting Clinical Cancer Genomics 2025 conference with an overview of national molecular profiling strategies of 6 EU countries. Important points:
-WGS provides prognostic info (not just actionable targets)!
-Need to more data on various ancestries
-Need to increase testing!

Artificial intelligence improves mammography-based breast cancer risk prediction
Artificial intelligence (AI) is enabling us to delve deeply into the information inherent in a mammogram and identify novel features associated with high risk of a future breast cancer diagnosis. Here, we discuss how AI is improving mammographic density-associated risk prediction and shaping the future of screening and risk-reducing strategies.
