In people with age-related blood stem cell mutations, our study found early pre-fibrosis and inflammatory regions in the bone marrow, that may set the stage for blood cancer development.

The @natimmunol.nature.com study was led by Dr. Anastasia Tikhonova:

Finding immune cells that naturally recognize cancer has been a barrier to developing T cell-based therapies. Our study used AI to decode what makes γδ T cells respond to tumour cells, unlocking new therapeutic potentials.

Instead of manually counting and drawing boundaries around micronuclei, tiny DNA-containing structures that signal genome instability, we developed an AI-based tool that automates the process and helps researchers study how cells accumulate genetic damage.

Our study reveals a key cause of lasting bone marrow damage after doxorubicin: the chemotherapy activates CD8 T cells to produce interferon-γ, which fuels chronic inflammation and disrupts the bone marrow environment.
