MSK Researchers Develop New Open-Source Method To Improve Decoding of Single-Cell Data

MSK researchers have developed a new open-source computational method, dubbed Spectra, which improves the analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data — and made it freely available to researchers around the world.

MSK Research Highlights September 29, 2023

New research from MSK develops a method for analyzing cancer cells that survive treatment for acute myeloid leukemia; identifies a transcription factor that orchestrates natural killer cell response; and finds vepafestinib is a promising therapeutic for the treatment of RET-driven cancers.

Rumble in the Genome: Unlocking the Secrets of the Tiny RNAs That Keep Self-Serving, Harmful Genes in Check

The common wisdom is that genes are preserved from generation to generation because they help the organism survive and reproduce. But MSK's Dr. Eric Lai’s team is showing — in fruit flies — that certain genes can threaten a species’ very survival by pursuing their narrow self-interests in passing along their own genetic material.

New MSK research finds a potential target against neuroendocrine transformation in lung and prostate cancers; discovers new clues about why donor T cells attack certain tissues in graft-versus-host disease; sheds light on why T cells let go of their prey; and uses CRISPR interference and dynamic cell-state transitions to discover enhancers that affect early human development.

MSK Research Highlights, July 17, 2023

New MSK research identified a way to reduce toxicity in CAR T cell therapy; discovered a division of labor in DNA repair that suggests a possible therapeutic strategy for certain cancers; developed a new method to enable imaging of two PET tracers simultaneously; found biomarkers that could help predict outcomes in HER2-positive metastatic esophagogastric cancer; and made progress toward improving options for patients with early-stage, potentially indolent cancers.
