BU researchers show that unexpected multiple independent lung tumors in a single patient may be caused by developmental somatic mosaicism in the adult lung, when only some normal cells in the body carry a driver EGFR mutation: https://t.co/n0g1cyIAow

patient can result from developmental somatic mosaicism in the adult lung. This occurs when only some normal cells in the body carry shared mutations, including a driver EGFR mutation.

Our paper "Developmental mosaicism underlying EGFR-mutant lung cancer presenting with multiple primary tumors" is out in Nature Cancer today.
With lineage tracing and phylogeny analysis by PhylogicNDT we show that, unexpectedly, multiple independent lung tumors in a single 🎉

We are profiling circulating nucleic acids in the blood to identify biomarkers of Alzheimer’s subtypes that are common in solid tissue, cerebrospinal fluid and blood to develop a blood-based assay to detect and monitor Alzheimer’s disease.

Honored and grateful to receive the 2024 Dahod Award in Breast Cancer for our collaboration with Dr. Gerald Denis on the mechanisms of diabetic exosome induced reprogramming of tumor cells that increase metastatic potential of breast cancer.

[Leshchiner Lab @lesh_lab]

Adipocytes adjacent to the tumor have been known to alter their secretion patterns in conditions of obesity and insulin resistance, also altering the content of exosomes they shed to the blood stream. Thank you to the Dahod family for their generous support!
