Most adult organs contain regenerative stem cells, often organized in specific niches. Stem cell function is critical for tissue homeostasis and repair upon injury, and it is dependent on …
Neutrophils are the most abundant myeloid cells in human blood and are emerging as important regulators of cancer. However, their functional importance has often been …
Dementia in Alzheimer's disease progresses alongside neurodegeneration,,–, but the specific events that cause neuronal dysfunction and death remain poorly understood. During …
Somatic mutations drive the development of cancer and may contribute to ageing and other diseases,. Despite their importance, the difficulty of detecting mutations that are only present …
Cancer has been a leading cause of death for decades. This dismal statistic has increased efforts to prevent the disease or to detect it early, when treatment is less invasive, relatively …
Acquired mutations are pervasive across normal tissues. However, understanding of the processes that drive transformation of certain clones to cancer is limited. Here we study this …
Clonal expansions driven by somatic mutations become pervasive across human tissues with age, including in the haematopoietic system, where the phenomenon is termed clonal …
Epithelial organoids, such as those derived from stem cells of the intestine, have great potential for modelling tissue and disease biology,,–. However, the approaches that are …
Whole-genome sequencing has brought the cancer genomics community into new territory. Thanks to the sheer power provided by the thousands of mutations present in each patient's …
