I am pleased to announce our new paper in Cell Reports, on common features between murine embryonic development and inflammatory disease in the colon. Great collaborative work with Hassan Fazilaty and TomasValenta in the lab of Konrad Basler . cell.com/cell-reports/f…

I would like to express my immense gratitude to the Theodor und Ida Herzog-Egli-Stiftung research.uzh.ch/static/fnf/sti… for awarding me a project grant to support my research in the BaslerLab. I will work on the perturbation of the TME in a murine model of metastatic colorectal cancer.

Fantastic! 12 trainee/travel awards awarded during the First Int'l Conference on #MesenchymalCells in #Health & #Disease June 3-8, 2022 #Crete #Greece. Look forward to seeing your scientific progress in two years. aegeanconferences.org/src/App/confer…

Wonderful exchange of science with peers at the EMBO EMBL symposium. Amazing in-person meeting after a long time! BaslerLab members, Tosca Dalessi , Michael Brügger and Hassan Fazilaty presented their works and learned about new developments in the metastasis field. #EESMetastasis

I am truly grateful to the fantastic lineup of speakers at #EESMetastasis for presenting their inspiring data. Thanks to Johanna Joyce, Charles Swanton, MassagueLab and Daniel Klimmeck for organizing this amazing meeting. Looking forward to the next one!

🧵1/13 Thrilled to announce this terrific work 🔝 by Adrián Álvarez, Laura Novellasdemunt, & the rest of the team Nature Cancer. Many congrats to all 👏. Mex3a identifies latent stem cells in #colorectalcancer that resist #chemotherapy & fuel disease relapse nature.com/articles/s4301…

Delighted to work with Shyam Prabhakar Lab, sabine Tejpar, Joanito & many talented colleagues on our paper, using insights from single-cell & bulk -omics to propose an update to CMS classification of colorectal cancer, in Nature Genetics 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158…

Out in nature today, we report that #p53 loss unleashes an ordered & selective pattern of cancer #GenomeEvolution: nature.com/articles/s4158…. 1/n

Publication alert! It is extremely important for us researchers to consider #reproducibility in our work. This is the result of stimulating discussions with @HeldLeonhard and other fellows of CRS@UZH during ReproducibiliTea and members of the BaslerLab. cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Our new preprint. We checked how individual Bmps influence the differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells. We confirmed recent observations showing that Bmp activate genes connected to lipid metabolism and uptake, but we show more.

Adult cells restore to embryonic time when they are damaged! But is it one general embryonic time?! In this Comment Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, I suggest that depending on the extent of damage, cells go back to different embryonic time points.

Congratulations to our star PhD student Michael Brügger Michael Brügger for successfully defending his thesis. He has several papers, and there will be more to come! Also thanks to the committee Johanna Joyce, Michael Scharl, Darren Gilmour and Christian von Mering University of Zurich.

I am delighted to share our BaslerLab new publication in Trends Cell Biology . We review the diverse functions of intestinal fibroblasts in development, homeostasis and disease and propose a novel framework for their classification. cell.com/trends/cell-bi…

Out now in Nature Communications! Our Postdoc Manqiang presents #assembloids, a new 3D co-culture system of colonic #epithelial and stromal cells that helps to unravel the crucial role of #BMPsignaling in the epithelial-stromal interaction of #crypt maturation. 👉 nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our paper focusing to the role of Bmp ligands in specification of cellular fate of enterocytes is just published in EMBO Reports embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

"Hijacked and Reprogrammed by Cancer Cells" 🔬 Join us tomorrow as Hassan Fazilaty takes us behind the scenes at the lab for an exclusive sneak peek into our research. Don't miss his lecture! BaslerLab, UZH Science, University of Zurich, #Scientifica23
