Ever wonder how heterogeneity defines bladder cancer subtypes? Ha and Hsieh Lab postdoctoral fellows @pushpa_itagi and Samantha Schuster @fredhutch did, leading to a deep study of bladder cancer clonality, evolution, and heterogeneity published @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Evolution and heterogeneity of lethal metastatic bladder cancer subtypes

Nature - A rapid autopsy programme provides valuable resources to enable detailed molecular and genetic analyses of the temporal evolution of aggressive histological subtypes and therapy resistance...

Published today in @Nature: A new Fred Hutch study using a first-in-kind rapid autopsy program shows details of metastatic bladder cancer subtypes; could improve diagnosis and future treatment. bit.ly/4xrNFra @pushpa_itagi @HsiehLab @GavinHa @DrOmarMian

Study uncovers genomic architecture and natural history of metastatic bladder cancer

A new study published in Nature has established the foundational landscape of tumor evolution in bladder cancer and differences in the cancer subtypes, which could point toward better diagnosis and...

Have you ever wondered if 3’UTR point mutations found in cancer patients matter? We’re excited to share our new publication out today @CellReports, where we’ve defined how prostate tumor 3’UTR mutations affect molecular & cellular oncogenicity. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… 1/n

Researchers discover molecular fail-safe that keeps bladder tissues from turning cancerous

When one emergency brake that keeps cancer at bay fails, bladder cells activate a new (and previously unknown) anti-cancer brake. In a new study published in Cancer Cell, Fred Hutch researchers...

Ever wonder what happens when DNA transcription clashes with mRNA translation? @SujataJanaPhD @FredHutch did and discovered a new tumor suppressive process called transcriptional-translational conflict caused by loss of #ARID1A! Out today @Cancer_Cell cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltex… 1/n
This illustration by Emma Vidal of @drawimpacts depicts an epic tumor suppressive battle between two titans of gene expression, transcription and translation, caused by loss of ARID1A

Not one to brag, but this is pretty momentous. By dropping this one tube to the ground, I’ve officially started setting aside samples that Mars Sample Return could bring back to Earth someday. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3WzZ5qF
Photo from NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover shows a small, white sample tube lying on the sandy surface of Mars. About the size of a marker, the tube sits in the shadow of the rover that released it. Part of the rover’s left rear wheel is visible at top right, along with tracks it has made on the dusty ground.

Reading Papers (It's a minor miracle if I understand a paper on the first read.)
A graph of "Progress in reading a paper" versus "Time". There's a staircase progression as I understand the various equations, followed by a huge drop when I realize I didn't understand the equations the first time around. Then it goes up again.

The Kilimanjaro 2023 team has blasted out of the starting gates, raising $195,746 in the first 2 weeks. Just getting warmed up. They're pushing themselves physically, and stretching to raise $1M for cancer research @fredhutch. Click the link and Give!👇fredhutch.org/en/events/clim…
