Leukemia That Starts Before Birth Is More Aggressive

A Mount Sinai team showed that the same leukemia mutation behaves differently depending on when it arises during development. Using CRISPR in human blood stem cells, they found prenatal-origin leukemias are more aggressive and treatment-resistant.

Two Genes May Hold the Key to Stopping Deadly Cancer Spread

Researchers used CRISPR screening in tumor organoids and mice to identify two genes, Ctnna1 and Bcl2l13, that suppress colorectal cancer metastasis. One limits cell invasion, while the other triggers cell death after detachment.

Researchers Use Virus To Trace Psilocybin’s Effects Across the Entire Brain

Cornell researchers used an engineered rabies virus to trace how psilocybin reshapes neural circuits, weakening cortical feedback loops linked to rumination and strengthening the link between perception and action.
