p53 mutations are found in 36% of tumors and contribute to the development and progression of cancer. We have tried to develop anti-cancer therapies against p53 mutant tumors before but have been unsuccessful (see https://t.co/FWch4Q7WAG). In a recent paper, @Sadagopan_A,
trials of anti-cancer p53 drugs: basically nothing has worked so far - ph 1/2 PC14586 (p53-Y220C refolder) in advanced solid tumors w/ Y220C mutation. Monotherapy in patients ORR 33% in Phase 2, still ongoing, and 43% ORR in ovarian cancer patients. A lot of partial responses.

The model of gene expression taught in school is highly misleading! Transcription factors are proteins that bind to DNA and then help repress, or activate, the expression of genes. Cells have hundreds of different types of transcription factors, each tuned to regulate different

This paper is an absolute masterclass in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms and a great one to keep going back to- highly recommend! https://t.co/OVASBVnLGb

This is brilliant. I didn't know such a technique existed. An example of how scientific breakthroughs are led by the invention of new methods.
It is possible to locate and count populations of cells inside the body using ultrasound. This is, imo, one of the most exciting biotechnologies today. Here is how it works: > First, visible light cannot be used to measure things deep inside tissue because it doesn't easily

Today in @Nature we report a new prime editing strategy that can rescue a common cause of many genetic diseases in a disease-agnostic manner. This approach converts a redundant endogenous tRNA into an optimized suppressor tRNA, enabling a single prime edit to rescue premature

Excited to introduce CRISPR-All! – a flexible, high-throughput framework that combines virtually any perturbation modality (CRISPRko, CRISPRi, CRISPRa, shRNA, knock-in, base/prime editing, etc.) in the same cell, at scale. Paired with single-cell RNA-seq @10xGenomics and rich
Excited to present the first major work after starting our lab at Stanford and the Arc this year: CRISPR-All, a unified genetic perturbation language for programming any major type of genetic perturbation simultaneously, in any combination, at genome scale, in human cells.

Our team designed a “dual-warhead” drug that links platinum to doxorubicin to tackle one of cancer’s toughest problems — chemoresistance. It keeps chemo inside cancer cells longer and boosts effectiveness. 🔗
