New preprint from the Hernando lab!

Combining 3D genome profiling and high resolution imaging we demonstrate how chromatin architecture cooperate with mechanical confinement in conferring melanoma mesenchymal cells high migratory capacities.
Richards, Devenport et al. @princetonmolbio show that #melanocyte precursors form dynamic E-cadherin based attachments to surrounding #keratinocytes that stabilize migratory protrusions and sustain long-distance #migration as they colonize the #epidermis. https://t.co/iqMRPGxmwL

Basurto-Lozada & Robles-Espinoza @UNAM_MX discuss a study that challenges the prevailing view of a monoclonal origin of cancer by showing that early lesions in mouse models of colorectal cancer are polyclonal.

We excited for Ben Hogan's (Peter Mac, Uni of Melbourne) talk at #ZDM18! Ben will sharing his lab's work on using sc-genomic approaches to explore lymphatic development, regeneration and the blood brain barrier. Don't miss his talk on Oct. 13th at 14:30 in Boston or online!
🧬 August’s most-read #genetics paper shows how a new zebrafish tool (mitfa:Cas9) can reveal the genes driving melanocyte and melanoma development: https://t.co/xtMclwwaUf #CRISPR

How do genes that keep melanocytes alive affect #melanoma?
Using a #zebrafish line with mitfa-driven Cas9, researchers show that knocking out survival genes can sometimes fuel more aggressive tumour traits.

Now out in @elife, @SarahPerlee’s Ph.D. work developing a powerful way to knock genes out in #melanocytes and #melanoma cells. She created #zebrafish that allow for efficient CRISPR editing, and found unexpected things about genes required for these cells to thrive: https://t.co/Y1duw8cgRV
Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: https://t.co/jTlmZ70kaH
🧠 Why does glioblastoma always outsmart treatment? In our paper, we identified proneural–mesenchymal hybrid glioblastoma cells that are resistant to therapy and dependent on nuclear import.
