How inflammation may prime the gut for cancer
A study in mice suggests that even intestinal cells that appear healthy may hold epigenetic “memories” of earlier bouts of inflammation that can promote colon cancer later in life.

A New Approach to Blood Cancers? Teaching the Immune System to Kill Mutant Stem Cells
Studying zebrafish, the Zon Lab is unpacking the signals that tell macrophages to eliminate mutated or diseased blood stem cells but encourage healthy ones to divide and proliferate. These signals might spawn new approaches to blood cancers like leukemia.
