A fantastic new #zebrafish model of uveal #melanoma from the lab of @TheKennyLab. This demonstrates the power of modeling rare but difficult to treat cancers, opening up new avenues to understand the biology and find new treatments. It has been really nice seeing this story evolve and congrats on this beautiful work: aacrjournals.org/cancerres/a…

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

#NASmember Funmi Olopade’s genetic research revealed that the African pan-genome contains 10 percent more DNA than the current human reference genome, and that a fuller picture of the genetic basis of breast cancer is needed to help inform treatment and save lives. #NAS160
