3D-printed costume for my boy. I don’t want to 3D-print the “needle” because it might be too sharp.

Excited to share our new Expert View in Vita! We explore lineage plasticity as a cellular “time machine”: how cancer cells rewind developmental programs to escape therapy, and how this could help us identify the next key regulator of lineage plasticity. vita-journal.com/vita/EN/10.…

In the middle of editing papers and grants ~16 hours a day for the past month, I took a short break to play a little Chinese song. Sometimes a few minutes of music is enough to reset the brain before getting back to the next paragraph.

Excited to share our new work in Cancer Letters!
We identify a HOX code–based framework to define lineage plasticity across cancers and uncover RUNX1T1–HDAC reprogramming as a conserved and targetable mechanism. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
