What a wonderful week! Sharing our @LeukemiaJnl single-cell DNA methylation #epigenetics tracing of clonal evolution from #MDS to #AML upon therapy with hypomethylating agents #HMA. Grateful for the help of @landau_lab @WeillCornell nature.com/articles/s41375-0…

Can we make brains “smarter”? By boosting mitochondrial metabolism in neurons of memory circuits, we improved memory in flies and mice. Thrilled to see this work out - congrats to @AmrapaliAnjali for spectacular work, and to lab and collaborators for invaluable contributions!

More evidence that #immunotherapy works better in the morning. In a prospective, randomized phase III trial, giving first-line chemo-immunotherapy earlier in the day (<15:00) nearly doubled PFS (11.3 vs 5.7 mo, HR 0.40) and improved OS (28.0 vs 16.8 mo; HR 0.42) in advanced NSCLC. More effective, no added cost and easy to implement. Likely reflects circadian immune rhythms with greater CD8⁺ activation and less T-cell exhaustion. doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-0… @OncoAlert

Congrats to Broad Clinical Labs, Roche and Boston Children's Hospital for making a Guinness record for fastest genome sequencing! They were able to sequence and analyse the whole genome in <4 hrs, surpassing the previous benchmark of 5 hrs and 2 mins. A NEJM paper reports application of this rapid workflow in seven NICU patients that returns genetic diagnosis in < 8 hrs. Amazing! News: broadclinicallabs.org/broad-… NEJM paper: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

✨ #WorldCMLDay reminds us: research saves lives. Once a deadly disease with low survival, the discovery of BCR-ABL led to imatinib— the pill that transformed treatment. 🔬 Today, thanks to research, 90% of patients can live almost normal lives. 💙
