Proud to be part of this large HTAN collaboration to understand the transcriptomic drivers of early breast cancer (DCIS) recurrence, out in this months @CancerCellMap ! https://t.co/Hv1Sy7bsaZ
Congrats to @kausaliavbosse @BryJCannon for the first (of many) big study on neurodegeneration using MIBI! Beautiful work with the images and laying groundwork for non-cellular object segmentation 👏
Out today on the cover of @Cellcellpress! We created the first high-dimensional spatial atlas of breast cancer progression to understand why some patients with DCIS go on to develop invasive breast cancer while others do not. @Mikeangelolab @NCIHTAN https://t.co/88QEeS0cpm
Why do some patients with pre-invasive breast lesions progress to invasive breast cancer and not others? this single-cell multiplex imaging study from @MikeAngeloLab analyzed 433 spatial and compositional parameters, implicates myoepithelium and stroma https://t.co/sQSSSZurMJ
Beautiful cover, inspiring work, and a great tweetorial from former @AmericanCancer postdoc @TyRisom.
New in @CellCellPress: "Transition to invasive breast cancer is associated with progressive changes in the structure and composition of tumor stroma"

These findings suggest that myoepithelial decay in DCIS may actually initiate stromal and immune reactivity that provides a protective effect against recurrence! This work will hopefully lead to new prognostics that help women with low-risk DCIS avoid unnecessary surgery
To our surprise, we found that DCIS progressors had a more continuous, E-Cadherin-high myoepithelium, akin to the myoepithelial layer of the normal homeostatic breast. Further, this normal-like myoepithelium was associated with reduced immune density and desmoplasia in the stroma
