Thank you @PennMedicine for the highlight of our work looking at nuclear speckles in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Read below 👇.
New research from @berger_lab reveals that nuclear speckle patterns in #kidney tumors may predict treatment response in clear cell renal cell #carcinoma. This discovery could guide personalized therapies, offering hope for improved outcomes.
