The efflux pump ABCC1/MRP1 constitutively restricts PROTAC sensitivity in cancer cells
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) enable degradation of proteins involved in cancer growth. The efficacy of PROTACs depends on cellular factors that may enable or prevent target degradation. Wo...

A genomics learning framework for undergraduates
Genomics is an increasingly important part of biology research. However, educating undergraduates in genomics is not yet a standard part of life sciences curricula. We believe this is, in part, due to...

The genomic architecture of circulating cytokine levels points to drug targets for immune-related diseases - Communications Biology
The study uses GWAS for 40 circulating cytokines in meta-analyses of 74,783 individuals. With Mendelian randomization, key cytokines like G-CSF/CSF-3 and CXCL9/MIG are identified as potential causal m...

It's craaazy that chemo has been in the clinic for so long, yet its therapeutic index remains incompletely understood. In this #Perspective, Letai & de The explore existing models + knowledge gaps, & suggest principles for optimizing dosing + scheduling. @natrevcancer.bsky.social bit.ly/3C53w8g
Conventional chemotherapy: millions of cures, unresolved therapeutic index - Nature Reviews Cancer
Conventional chemotherapy has successfully cured millions of patients with cancer, yet the mechanisms of action for this remain unclear. In this Perspective, Letai and de The assess the existing mecha...

This year, the term “scientist” turns 190 years old! It was coined by William Whewell, who also considered the alternatives: “savant”, “philosopher”, “nature-poker”, and “nature-peeper” Did he choose the right one?

Out today in Nature: "The Human Cell Atlas"! In my News and Views, I compare the cell atlas to early naturalists creating an atlas of South America. Researchers mining this cell atlas can now make big discoveries, just as the next naturalists then discovered evolution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Resharing here a recent X post. In this preprint, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people. 1/ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Somatic mutation and selection at epidemiological scale
As we age, many tissues become colonised by microscopic clones carrying somatic driver mutations ([1][1]–[10][2]. Some of these clones represent a first step towards cancer whereas others may contribu...
