KDM6 Demethylases Contribute to EWSR1::FLI1-Driven Oncogenic Reprogramming in Ewing Sarcoma
Abstract. Ewing Sarcoma (EwS) is a highly aggressive tumor arising in bones and soft tissues driven by the fusion oncoprotein EWSR1::FLI1. This aberrant transcription factor binds to GGAA microsatelli...

#PCBCommunity |🍰 Aquest matí, els #PCBakers han celebrat l’ #Endorfest en suport de la investigació per l’ #endometriosi, una malaltia ginecològica que afecta el 10% de les dones en edat fèrtil a Espanya🌸. Els fons recaptats es destinaran a la recerca que porta a terme @hospitalclinic.bsky.social 🤝
El proper dimarts el #PCBakers dedicat a la recerca per l'Endometriosi. Totes les contribucions aniran per a l' #Endofest i per a la recerca que es fa a l'Hospital Clínic. Gràcies Bet @efigbo.bsky.social per organitzar-ho!!!! @www.pcb.ub.edu
