In the Clinic Unexpected Finding Reveals New Target for Aggressive Form of Lung Cancer Tuesday, December 1, 2020 Researchers discover that a subset of lung adenocarcinomas are aggressive because of mutations that allow them to block ferroptosis, a type of cell death. Wielding Powerful Imaging Tools, MSK Researchers Decipher Process of DNA Repair Tuesday, December 1, 2020 The high-resolution views provided by cryo-electron microscopy are helping scientists learn how proteins and DNA collaborate to repair broken DNA. For People with Certain BRCA Mutations, Activating the Immune System Could Be Promising Treatment Monday, November 30, 2020 Human data and results from mouse experiments suggest that people with BRCA2 mutations may respond well to immunotherapy drugs. Finding MSK Study Is the First to Link Microbiota to Dynamics of the Human Immune System Wednesday, November 25, 2020 MSK researchers have shown for the first time that the concentration of different types of immune cells in the blood changes in relation to the presence of different bacterial strains in the gut. In the Lab More Evidence that Cellular ‘Death by Iron’ Could Be Promising Avenue of Cancer Treatment Monday, November 23, 2020 Cancers with certain mutations are vulnerable to ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell death. In the Lab Single-Cell Study Sheds Light on Leukemia’s Family Tree Wednesday, October 28, 2020 New research looks at how a series of mutations in normal blood cells can lead to them becoming cancerous and how these mutations accumulate as cancer progresses. In the Lab Feature Presentation: 3D Movies of Cell Signaling in Early Development from the Hadjantonakis Lab Monday, October 26, 2020 Grab your popcorn and pull up a chair for these video shorts of cell signaling in early mouse development. Finding Why Do Certain Chemotherapies Increase the Likelihood of Blood Cancer? Monday, October 26, 2020 New research focuses on clonal hematopoiesis, an age-related blood condition that increases the risk of blood cancer. In the Lab MSK-led Studies Support the Concept of “Cancer Environment Immunotherapy” Wednesday, October 21, 2020 Targeting the cancer environment, rather than the cancer itself, could be a new avenue for immunotherapy.
