Very excited about this paper - new way to shut down transcription in DMG - looking now at clinical translation

Inhibitors of the proteins FACT and BET disrupt transcription in #DiffuseMidlineGlioma and extend survival in mice, hinting this combo can suppress hard-to-target epigenetic drivers of this pediatric cancer. @holly_holliday_ @ProfDavidZieg @KidsCancerInst scim.ag/3ZfoysL

Congrats to the team for our work - on the cover of Science Translational Medicine! One more step forward to find effective treatments for #DIPG. Thanks to all our funders - See details here:

New in @ScienceTM 🧬 On the cover! Our work on diffuse midline glioma (#DMG #DIPG), an incurable paediatric brain cancer driven by epigenetic changes. We asked: Can targeting chromatin slow tumour growth?🔗science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #ScienceTranslationalMedicineResearch

Together, these results support dual FACT + BET inhibition as a promising DMG therapy, hitting both tumour-intrinsic vulnerabilities and immune defenses.

Great work from the team and hopefully a helpful resource for many @ JoVE app.jove.com/t/67349

@OdedRechavi I tend to agree but I didn’t see this post so can’t reply

I'm not basing this on data, just a hunch, but I think that while many academics obviously left Twitter (call it X if you want to, i won't), and people use it less often, I believe most (>70%?) are still here and just don't see each other's posts because the algorithm is broken.

Excited to see our work published in Neuro-Oncology @NeuroOnc. Large international study of 252 patients with #DMG #DIPG with paired #germline #somatic. One patient had a near-complete response to PARP+immune checkpoint inhibition. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40072012/

Thanks to all collaborators who helped assemble the largest cohort of DMG patients with germline sequencing. Helping us understand the cause and new DMG treatments:

11: Thanks to all the patients and families who have supported this work through advice, encouragement, fund raising and allowing us to use their child's tumour samples - without which no research is possible

3: Despite including hundreds of anti-cancer drugs, most of them were completely inactive against DIPG cells - however a small number - 90 - were highly potent
