Nature research paper: Non-invasive profiling of the tumour microenvironment with spatial ecotypes go.nature.com/42USyMo

J. Craig Venter, a scientist and entrepreneur who decoded the human genome, has died at 79.

An analysis of #exposome traits in patients with early onset CRC (<50 yrs) compared with late-onset CRC (≥70 yrs) based on epigenetic markers shows that pesticide usage, in particular picloram, is associated with early onset colon and rectal cancer.

Why are we seeing so much early-onset colorectal cancer? The correlation with pesticide exposure and its epigenetic signature, adjusted for all known risk factors. (doesn't establish cause and effect) nature.com/articles/s41...

🔬 Un estudio del @vhio.bsky.social publicado en Nature Medicine analiza por primera vez cómo el exposoma (entorno y estilo de vida) puede influir en el cáncer colorrectal en menores de 50 años a través de cambios en el ADN.

NEW 📄! Our last Nature Medicine paper, led by @silvanamaas.bsky.social and @seoaneja.bsky.social , identifies picloram (herbicide) as a novel risk factor on early-onset colorectal cancer ( #eoCRC), while confirming well-known risk factors. www.nature.com/articles/s41.... #exposome #epigenetics +

➡️Un equipo de @vhio.bsky.social relaciona los cambios provocados por dieta, tabaco y exposición a pesticidas con el desarrollo de cáncer colorrectal en menores de 50 años 🗨️ Robin Mesnage: "Se necesita más trabajo, en concreto, con datos de exposición directa" sciencemediacentre.es/relacionan-l...

A @natmed.nature.com : un estudi liderat pel VHIO, amb José Antonio Seoane i Silvana Maas, vincula canvis epigenètics per la dieta, el tabac i l’exposició a pesticides amb el càncer colorectal en menors de 50 anys. ➡️ https://linke.to/NatureMedSeoane #AECCVHIO @caixaresearch.bsky.social

Delighted to share our new paper which has just been published in Nature Medicine. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An analysis in Nature Health reveals spatial patterns of pesticide exposure and liver tissue-derived molecular signatures across Peru, establishing links between pesticide usage and cancer insurgence at the national scale. go.nature.com/41hOBAK 🧪

Now online! Accelerating discovery of cancer causes for prevention in the era of rising early-onset cancers

I am very pleased with our latest paper showing that cells can remember past injury for a long time! Here a simple interpretable AI was used as a discovery tool to pinpoint the DNA code and biological mechanism. Big foundation models failed. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It’s well known that inflammation increases cancer risk, but how? The answer: the epigenome "remembers" inflammation and primes stem cells for cancer. Here is our paper: nature.com/articles/s41... And a special shoutout to the lead author @snaga13.bsky.social A 🧵

👇 Still a couple of days to apply to join our amazing team as a Research Scientist / Software Developer. Apply if you want to build and maintain reproducible pipelines for large-scale genomic analysis to support our study of breast cancer cis-regulatory signatures and JASPAR, among other things.

What makes HR+ breast cancer tumors immune-cold? New work shows how ER signaling hijacks LCOR, suppressing tumor immunogenicity. Our PI @seoaneja.bsky.social participates on this study led by @tceliaterrassa.bsky.social, uncovering a target to sensitize tumors to ICB. www.jci.org/articles/vie...

With the start of our new study trying to find causes of bowel cancer in young people hitting the headlines today: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I'm so glad to see bold efforts to raise awareness, like this giant 5x3m poster on the Croydon station platform I pass by on my to the lab each day

Studying cancer evolution needs multi-region or single cell seq for phylogenetics, right? Amazingly (I think!) we found single-sample bulk methylation suffices, via analysis of "fluctuating methylation". In @nature.com today led by brilliant @calumgabbutt.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
