Calling all science tweeps! I’m very pleased to announce that the next Canadian Symposium on Telomeres & Genome Integrity will be May 21-24, 2024 🎉 All welcome, check out our website for more details: event.fourwaves.com/6cstgi/pages

Last week’s Grand Rounds with Peng Lab and Dr. Paul Wolters on the role of cellular aging and telomere dysfunction in pulmonary fibrosis is now available on our YouTube channel.

Happy #InternationalNursesDay ! 🎉 Today. we at Repeat Diagnostics 🇨🇦 shine a light on nurses' unwavering commitment, care, and courage worldwide. Their dedication to the patient care forefront inspires us daily. Thank you for everything you do! 💙

3/ If you follow pts w/ ILAs, a subset go on to develop IPF. Breakthrough in studying dyskeratosis congenita, which has pulm fibrosis as manifestation. Noticed genes involved in telomere length maintenance-> NEJM study of IPF & telomerase mutations: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Michael Tassia is talking about the mechanisms by which long telomeres predispose to cancer, really cool addition to clonal hematopoesis literature (see also nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…) #BoG24

We are delighted to announce Repeat Diagnostics 🇨🇦 as one of our Lantern Level Sponsors! Thank you for supporting #TTSummit24 . You can learn more about Repeat Dx by visiting repeatdx.com

Happy #DoctorsDay2024 to all the incredible physicians who dedicate their lives to healing and hope! 🩺💙 At Repeat Dx, we also proudly support #NationalDonateLifeMonth this April. It is a month to remember, celebrate, and encourage organ donation. #DonateLife #ThankADoctor 🌷💚

Excellent talk by Kristen Schratz (Johns Hopkins) at the 9th international BMFS symposium AA&MDSIF !Not all that glitters is gold‼️Be careful when evaluating short telomeres.Telomere length should always be interpreted in the context of the entire clinical picture 🔝🔝🔝

AA&MDSIF
1/3Wonderful opening session on Genetics & Genomics of #BMF
Closing comment from real world perspective. If insurance does NOT cover WGS or #telomere length testing what path can a clinician take?

The length of one small structure in our lymphocytes could be a huge factor in fighting aplastic anemia. It's exciting to see how telomeres may guide physicians toward more effective treatments! 👀 #AplasticAnemia #Telomeres #MDS

People with either very short or very long telomeres are at increased risk of developing cancer – this is called the Telomere Length Paradox. #Telomeres

Genomic instability, shortened telomeres, and the impact of cancer therapies on both cancerous and healthy cells - all factors to consider when selecting the best treatment for those with telomere biology disorders. #telomeres
