New preprint!
We mapped the clonal architecture of mouse and human intestine using DNA barcoding, revealing key species-specific differences. Lessons from mice don’t always translate to humans!

It would be really interesting to see if countries with higher iron deficiency correlate with higher female population!

Pretty cool study!

Peto's Paradox—that cancer does not increase with body size of mammals—was wrong.
A new, comprehensive study of 263 species documents higher cancer prevalence with increasing body mass. Some large animals (e.g. elephants) have some built-in genetic adaptations

Larger, longer-lived species are expected to have a higher cancer prevalence compared to smaller, shorter-lived species owing to the greater number...

Spatial omics rides again, this time determining how immune CD8 T cells by location in the gut have different roles, such as killing function in the villus and backup reinforcements in the crypts

#NCB2024
In June, Meissner & co reported a lineage-tracing strategy to track #extraembryonic gut #endoderm cells over development; showed these cells are eventually eliminated in a p53-dependent manner and neighboring embryonic cells clear their remnants.
