Super happy to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! We've discovered how the breast is protected against tumor initiation—though it comes at a cost. 📰Read all about it here: bit.ly/3MSxoa1 🏥@vib_ccb @Onco_KULeuven @NKI_nl @vanRheenen_Lab @BenSimons_Lab






Hypermutator cancers are defined by increased mutation rates. But do mutation rates evolve with time during tumour growth?⏱️ In this work @NatureGenet we show that hypermutator cancers use an unexpected set of genetic gear switches to adapt mutation rates to immune selection.


How does DNA damage cause apoptosis when p53 is mutated? Critical to understand treatment of many tumors. Excited that ‘DNA damage induces p53-independent apoptosis through ribosome stalling’ by Nicolaas Boon and collaborators is out: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
