It’s dissertation day in RaleighLab. Packed room to hear Tim Casey-Clyde talk about craniofacial development from the neural crest. @Bush_lab LukeGilbert UC San Francisco

The majority of meningiomas are low-grade, and most low-grade meningiomas respond well to current therapies... but some come back despite our best efforts, and Ramin Morshed and RaleighLab are trying to understand how.

We are hiring! Apply now for this postdoc position at the UC San Francisco Brain Tumor Center to study organoid models of brain cancer with RaleighLab: nature.com/naturecareers/… #BrainTumor #PostDocJobs #ResearchJobs #ScienceJobs UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr

If you are or know someone with #meningioma, consider enrolling in the UCSF Neurosurgery UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr UC San Francisco Living with Meningioma study. This yearly 15-min online/app-based study aims to understand how meningioma survivors are doing many years after diagnosis meningioma.eurekaplatform.org/pages/landing?…

#UVradiation triggers a #pigmentation response in our skin. Ayush Aggarwal TNV_LAB &co identify distinct #melanocyte sub-pops with maturation & proliferation programs initiated by stochastic gene expression in response to cues like UV #PLOSBiology plos.io/4fNb3rz

How do "benign" meningiomas grow? And can we tell if they're benign using non-invasive tests? Charlotte Eaton from RaleighLab answers both of these question in a collaboration with Danielle Swaney, now online in Nature Communications.

Using a biomarker from William C Chen, MS4 from RaleighLab Minh Nguyen (not on X but currently applying for NSG residency!) shows gene expression profiling predicts which “low-risk” meningiomas will recur, even after GTR!

Our study identifies Mgat4b, a N-glycosyltransferase enriched in pigment progenitors, as a regulator of directional melanocyte migration & establishment of McSC pool during early dev & show that Mgat4b mut cells fail to initiate melanoma in zebrafish doi.org/10.1101/2024.1… (1/3)

See you in 80000 years!!!! ☄️

Very happy to see this paper in the October issue of Cancer Discovery! Here we report a new driver and therapeutic target in #meningioma perivascular stem cells! Abrar Choudhury, MD, PhD Elizabeth Crouch, MD/PhD UCSF Neurosurgery UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr UC San Francisco

From RaleighLab and Tim Casey-Clyde in eLife - the journal, a new study of craniofacial epigenetics! We have found epigenetic mechanisms in #meningioma, #schwannoma, and other neural crest tumors. Now, we're trying to understand these in neural crest development. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

Sugars matter- not just in cancer but in development too. Excited to share my PhD work is published! We identify MGAT4B as a key regulator of melanocyte migration during early development & later during melanoma initiation via selective N-glycan branching. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
