Check out this incredible new story led by Darko Barisic @edeon from the lab on chromatin remodeling GC B cells and B cell lymphoma!!🔥
Very excited to share our new paper on how mutations in SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes alter chromatin dynamics and immune cell-fate to drive lymphoma, online now in @Cancer_Cell. authors.elsevier.com/c/1ijJ0… More details in the thread below.👇 🧵 1/n

Researchers identify mechanisms that can transform follicular lymphoma into an aggressive form of cancer in some patients. Findings from a team led by Dr. Ari Melnick (@LabMelnick) of @WCM_MeyerCancer suggest potential for new therapeutic strategies. bit.ly/3TsJucs

I learned so much from reading the excellent papers by the Melnick and Green labs and even more when we attempted to distill their observations into a succinct preview article. Check out their work on how BAF complex mutations contribute to lymphomagenesis!
Congratulations Michael! And Ari! Nice editorial by @QuinlanSievers and @AbdelWahablab SWI/SNF regulation of germinal center fate and lymphomagenesis sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

and co-published story by @GreenLymphoLab -- great time for epigenetics in the B cell lymphoma field!
How do BAF (SWI/SNF) mutations drive lymphoma? Back-to-back papers from our group @MDAndersonNews and @LabMelnick lab on SMARCA4 and ARID1A mutations online in @Cancer_Cell today. A brief summary... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

During antibody affinity maturation in germinal centers (GCs), many defective B cells die by apoptosis. These cells are removed by tingible body macrophages (TBMs). Here, we describe their origin and function. 🧵@NGurwicz doi.org/10.1084/jem.20222173 @JExpMed

The reason I find academia so hard, is I am wired for a kind of love that this place cannot sustain. I think of ways to cite colleagues, to lift them up, to support them. All the time. It is not reciprocal with so many others. I find it painful. I'm not sure how long I can last.
