NEW PREPRINT: scIRES-seq brings simultaneous single-cell multi-omics to circulating tumour cells (CTCs): immunophenotype, genetics, DNA methylation and gene expression, linked within the same cells.

Grateful to @JianXuLab for this perspective highlighting how oncogenes, developmental ontogeny, and cellular plasticity intersect in pediatric leukemia, alongside the JMML study by @mp_hartmann and @dblipka1. @BCD_AACR @CD_AACR aacrjournals.org/bloodcancer…

New Spotlight in @BCD_AACR
#Oncogene × #Ontogeny × #Plasticity shape leukemia biology & therapy response.
Two complementary studies show: mutations alone don’t explain disease behavior—developmental state and cellular plasticity matter.

#leukemia
Same mutation ≠ same leukemia.
@Elvin_Wag et al. @CD_AACR
• fetal HSCs readily transform
• postnatal HSCs become resistant
• fetal programs create vulnerabilities
Ontogeny matters: state-of-origin shapes biology & therapy response.

#pediatric #AML
JMML stem cells aren’t epigenetically “stuck” in a fetal state.
They mature postnatally—yet show striking transcriptional plasticity, with oncofetal reprogramming in high-risk disease, challenging the classic “maturation block” model.
