We are pleased to host @shouval.bsky.social at #KSStromal26.

Her team studies how tumours reprogram the local microenvironment to enable systematic malignancies. One of the way tumours predominantly do this is by interacting with #fibroblast.

Nature research paper: Thymic epithelial cells amplify epigenetic noise to promote immune tolerance

Thymic epithelial cells amplify epigenetic noise to promote immune tolerance - Nature

The activity of the tumour-suppressor protein p53 is repressed in the thymus to augment fluctuations in background chromatin accessibility as a means of mediating ectopic gene expression and immune tolerance.
