Unveiling the Criminal Masterminds: Innovative Strategies in Cancer Research

Sometimes, conducting research feels like a police investigation!
Discover the parallel between our article: Inhibition of the STAT3/Fanconi anemia axis is synthetic lethal with PARP inhibition in breast cancer and police enquiry communities.springernature.com/posts/unveil... @cginestier.bsky.social

Cells control the supply of new histones to chromatin by blocking histone chaperone function - see here how Codanin-1 sequesters 4 ASF1 molecules.

Exciting seminar series from Genome integrity italian Network (GiiN), chaired by myself and Raffaella Di Micco! Short talks (2x30’), at convenient time for EU/USA attendees. Big shots and raising stars in an expanding field. See flyers + link to receive email alerts. Please repost to your network!👇

Thanks! @vermalab-washu.bsky.social

Inhibition of the STAT3/Fanconi anemia axis is synthetic lethal with PARP inhibition in breast cancer - Nature Communications Targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) has great potential in anti-cancer treatment. Here this group reports the role of antibiotic Nifuroxazide as a potent anti-CSC compound and fabricates it into an ant...

Glad to have contributed to this beautiful work led by @celiarouault.bsky.social & colleagues at @crcm.bsky.social just out in @naturecomms.bsky.social. Using drug repurposing, they unveiled the STAT3/FanA axis as a targetable vulnerability in breast cancer stem cells

Genetic buffering mechanisms in SNF2-family translocases SNF2-family DNA translocases, a large family of ATPases, have poorly defined roles in genomic stability. In a recent study, Feng et al. identified a synthetic lethal interaction between the SNF2 trans...
