#Chromothripsis leads to the acquisition of multiple genomic aberrations. Simovic-Lorenz & Ernst (DKFZ) discuss mechanistic models of chromothripsis, outline its role in cancer development + tumour evolution & suggest therapeutic vulnerabilities. 📖👇 bit.ly/4fy8pFo

Would you prefer to lead a lab alone or together with a science buddy? How interesting would be a research institute where joint labs are the standard?!

New work reveals the impact of anxiety & depression on PhD students. "Anxiety and depression can have a substantially detrimental impact on graduate students’ experiences [..] and likely also contribute to increased time to degree and student attrition." nature.com/articles/s4158…

⚡️📣After the success of our previous pathology foundation models UNI (rdcu.be/dBMgh) and CONCH (rdcu.be/dBMf6), we are now announcing TITAN (arxiv.org/abs/2411.19666), a new state-of-the-art whole slide level foundation model trained on >330k pathology slides

Are metastatic #cancers more like their normal origin or target tissues? Our work in Science Advances systematically compares the #transcriptomics of primary and metastatic #tumors to healthy tissues in a #PanCancer, genome-wide manner! #metastasis 🧵1/10 shorturl.at/Uc4xx

Which are the highest cited original research publications in #PancreaticCancer over the past five years (from 2020 to 2024 end)? All metrics obtained from Google Scholar (caveat: GS tends to OVERESTIMATE citations but the trends are consistent overall). 🧵 Below:
