Can we interrupt the inflammatory signals driving clonal hematopoiesis? Our new study, led by @jaynathemistry, identifies neutrophil-derived S100A8/A9 as a potential therapeutic target to limit DNMT3A-mutant stem cell expansion. @Haematologica doi.org/10.3324/haematol.202…

We've had two thrilling days in Dallas gathering the scientific community for Advancing Immunotherapy for Osteosarcoma, organized with @OSInstitute. The challenges are immense, but so is the potential. Together, we're working toward better treatments for patients who urgently need them.

Excited to share our new preprint! ChromE-seq reads 3D chromatin and gene expression in one cell. Across ~400,000 human primary cells, B lineage has the fewest chromatin loops and is most perturbed in trisomy 21, driving the B-cell block in Down syndrome. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

🧬 Happy to share our new study in @BloodAdvances! Many inherited cancer predisposition genes only cause disease once a second mutation arrives. We tested that directly, combining CRISPR editing of human primary blood stem cells with xenotransplantation.🧵doi.org/10.1182/bloodadvance…

A new study from MSK and collaborators (@jonasschluter and @DrMvandenBrink) suggests that consuming high levels of sugar while taking antibiotics may worsen gastrointestinal side effects in patients receiving bone marrow transplants. The study, co-led by Dr. Jonathan “Tsoni” Peled (@tsonipeled) and published in @Nature, tracked the diets and gut microbiomes of 173 hospitalized transplant patients. The data showed that high-sugar foods and antibiotics appeared to compound damage to the microbiome.

In people with age-related blood stem cell mutations, our study found early pre-fibrosis and inflammatory regions in the bone marrow, that may set the stage for blood cancer development. The @NatImmunol study was led by @DrStass @UHN @pmcancercentre: nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

🚨 Out today in @NatImmunol, a study from @PMResearch_UHN’s @DrStass identifies distinctive early changes in the bone marrow environment in people with age-related blood #StemCell mutations, before blood cancer develops. ⬇️

Very grateful for the support of @TheMarkFdn to pursue our biggest and boldest ideas!! #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth #JAXresearch #JAXstemcellsdev
This #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, we’re spotlighting 2023 Emerging Leader Award winner Jennifer Trowbridge (@TrowbridgeLab) of @JacksonLab. She’s looking for answers to a big question: why aging blood cells develop into cancer in some individuals but not others.

New research from @PMResearch_UHN shows how chemotherapy can cause long-term damage to bone & and blood-forming cells in the bone marrow by triggering inflammation—offering insight into why many cancer survivors face lasting health challenges. 🔗: uhnresearch.ca/news/9-18-202…
