    • Delighted to see LLF580 (efimosfermin alfa) acquired by @GSK, an FGF21 biologic for MASH. Thanks to @BostonPharm for believing in this idea. Third NIBR-born spin-out to be acquired for approx $1 bn or more. https://t.co/0I030HWpg9

    Wala et al. identify recurrent focal BRD4 deletions in tumors harboring larger amplifications, suggesting that these deletions may serve to limit toxic BRD4 overexpression. A CRISPR-Cas9 cell line model validates that fine-tuned BRD4 expression is required for cancer cell growth. Together, these support the first recurrent deletion reducing toxicity in cancer.

    • Can you get too much of a good thing? Turns out ovarian cancer cells recurrently delete BRD4 regulatory elements to mute expression. So cool, even better from close friends. https://t.co/jkRYr7G4Vr
