"I loved math when I was growing up. Nobody in my family was a scientist, but my father loved doing puzzles. So we did a lot of puzzles."

In 2020, @CKadoch of @kadochlab received an email from a gynecologic oncologist with a research idea. That idea, proposed by @Jstlaurent_MD of @stlaurentlab, has led to findings that support clinical testing of a completely new way to treat endometrial cancer, the fourth most common cancer in women. Hear them tell the story in this inaugural podcast episode of Unraveled Presents: Conversations about Cancer. ➡️ bit.ly/4zOhTXG

As I recall my colleague Ronny Drapkin telling me years ago, most ovarian cancers don't start in the ovary—they start in the fallopian tube, a finding that came out of NCI-funded research. That shift has rewired how we think about prevention. Learn more. go.nih.gov/M3zXBZz

It was a pleasure to write a commentary with @md_napolitano on a recent paper showing how germline BRCA2 mutations can predispose #BreastCancer toward RB1 loss and CDK4/6i resistance—while preserving PARPi sensitivity. Can we anticipate/intercept resistance before it emerges?
Shaping CDK4/6 Inhibitor Resistance: BRCA2 Germline Alterations Bias toward RB1 Inactivation—this In the Spotlight commentary by Fabiana Napolitano and Ariella B. Hanker highlights a recent Nature article from Anton Safonov and colleagues. doi.org/10.1158/0008-5472.CA… @md_napolitano

To stay ahead of cancer, we need to understand how tumor cells adapt. This @theNCI study reveals how environmental stress can drive heritable changes in gene expression, offering new insights into one of cancer’s greatest challenges: drug resistance. go.nih.gov/iie4xBv
ALT This diagram shows how environmental stressors like antifungal drugs or high temperatures can trigger a molecular chain reaction inside fission yeast cells, which share many of the same pathways as human cells.\n\nExternal signals funnel through two internal communication networks into a molecular dimmer switch called the heterochromatin heritability regulatory hub, or HRH. When stress turns the dimmer up, the HRH can drive the assembly of tightly packed DNA regions called heterochromatin, locking certain genes off. Those silencing patterns can then be passed on to daughter cells when the cell divides \u2014 no changes to the underlying DNA sequence required. Image Credit: Shiv Grewal
