We profiled a large heterogenous cohort of matched diagnostic-relapse tumour tissue and paired plasma-derived cell free DNA (cfDNA) from patients with relapsed and progressive solid tumours of childhood. Tissue and cfDNA sequencing results were concordant, with a wider spectrum of mutant alleles and higher degree of intra-tumour heterogeneity captured by the latter, if sufficient circulating tumour-derived DNA (ctDNA) was present. Serial tumour sequencing identified putative drivers of relapse, with alterations in epigenetic drivers being a common feature.

Article Synopsis
  • - The Chemical Probes Portal is a free online resource that helps researchers evaluate and select high-quality small-molecule compounds, known as chemical probes, essential for studying protein functions in complex biological systems.
  • - This Portal aims to improve the reliability of biomedical research by addressing the issue of low-quality compounds, which can lead to incorrect conclusions.
  • - Recent updates to the Portal include an increased number of chemical probes and human protein targets, enhanced expert reviews, and new tools that support researchers in their studies.

We are building the world's first Virtual Child-a computer model of normal and cancerous human development at the level of each individual cell. The Virtual Child will "develop cancer" that we will subject to unlimited virtual clinical trials that pinpoint, predict, and prioritize potential new treatments, bringing forward the day when no child dies of cancer, giving each one the opportunity to lead a full and healthy life.
