- New to bluesky, but I’m excited to share my work over the last few years with @jbuenrostro.bsky.social! Chronic inflammation creates an epigenetic memory in colonic stem cells, priming them for tumor growth: tinyurl.com/ColitisNagar.... Here’s a walkthrough of what we found (🧵)
- How does inflammation fuel cancer? Chronic inflammation has long been connected to cancer, but the molecular mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that inflammation and damage create lasting epigenetic alterations in stem cells, reducing the threshold for oncogenesis. (2/14)
