T.; Meldrum, Deirdre R.; Michor, Franziska L.; Mumenthaler, Shannon M.; Nandakumar, Vivek; O’Halloran, Thomas V.; Oh, Steve; Pasqualini, Renata; Paszek, Matthew J.; Philips, Kevin G.; Poultney, Christopher S.; Rana, Kuldeepsinh; Reinhart-King, Cynthia A.; Ros, Robert; Semenza, Gregg L.; Senechal, Patti; Shuler, Michael L.; Srinivasan, Srimeenakshi; Staunton, Jack R.; Stypula, Yolanda; Subramanian, Hariharan; Tlsty, Thea D.; Tormoen, Garth W.; Tseng, Yiider; van Oudenaarden, Alexander; Verbridge, Scott S.; Wan, Jenny C.; Weaver, Valerie M.; Widom, Jonathan; Will, Christine; Wirtz, Denis; Wojtkowiak, Jonathan; Wu, Pei-Hsun (Nature Publishing Group, 2013)
      To investigate the transition from non-cancerous to metastatic from a physical sciences perspective, the Physical Sciences–Oncology Centers (PS-OC) Network performed molecular and biophysical comparative studies of the ...
    • Polyploidy can drive rapid adaptation in yeast 

      Selmecki, Anna; Maruvka, Yosef E.; Richmond, Phillip A.; Guillet, Marie; Shoresh, Noam; Sorenson, Amber; De, Subhajyoti; Kishony, Roy; Michor, Franziska; Dowell, Robin; Pellman, David (2015)
      Polyploidy is observed across the tree of life, yet its influence on evolution remains incompletely understood1–4. Polyploidy, usually whole genome duplication (WGD), is proposed to alter the rate of evolutionary adaptation. ...
    • Punctuated copy number evolution and clonal stasis in triple-negative breast cancer 

      Gao, Ruli; Davis, Alexander; McDonald, Thomas; Sei, Emi; Shi, Xiuqing; Wang, Yong; Tsai, Pei-Ching; Casasent, Anna; Waters, Jill; Zhang, Hong; Meric-Bernstam, Funda; Michor, Franziska L.; Navin, Nicholas E. (Springer Nature, 2016)
      Aneuploidy is a hallmark of breast cancer; however, our knowledge of how these complex rearrangements evolve during tumorigenesis is limited. In this study we developed a highly-multiplexed single-nucleus-sequencing ...
    • A Race Between Tumor Immunoescape and Genome Maintenance Selects for Optimum Levels of (Epi)genetic Instability 

      Iwami, Shingo; Haeno, Hiroshi; Michor, Franziska L. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      The human immune system functions to provide continuous body-wide surveillance to detect and eliminate foreign agents such as bacteria and viruses as well as the body's own cells that undergo malignant transformation. To ...
    • Stochastic Tunneling of Two Mutations in a Population of Cancer Cells 

      Haeno, Hiroshi; Maruvka, Yosef E.; Iwasa, Yoh; Michor, Franziska (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Cancer initiation, progression, and the emergence of drug resistance are driven by specific genetic and/or epigenetic alterations such as point mutations, structural alterations, DNA methylation and histone modification ...
    • Subclonal Cooperation Drives Metastasis by Modulating Local and Systemic Immune Microenvironments 

      Cristea, Simona; Kwak, Minsuk; Qin, Yuanbo; Laszewski, Tyler; Luoma, Adrienne; Marusyk, Andriy; Wagle, Nikhil; Fang, Rongxin; Polyak, Kornelia; Janiszewska, Michalina; Tabassum, Doris; Castaño, Zafira; Yamamoto, Kimiyo; Kingston, Natalie; Murphy, Katherine; Shu, Shaokun; Harper, Nicholas; Gil del Alcazar, Carlos; Alečković, Maša; Ekram, Muhammad; Cohen, Ofir; Cohen, Ofir; Wucherpfennig, Kai; Michor, Franziska; McAllister, Sandra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07)
      Most human tumours are heterogeneous, composed of cellular clones with different properties present at variable frequencies. Highly heterogeneous tumours have poor clinical outcomes, yet the underlying mechanism remains ...
    • The Therapeutic Implications of Plasticity of the Cancer Stem Cell Phenotype 

      Leder, Kevin; Holland, Eric C.; Michor, Franziska L. (Public Library of Science, 2010)
      The cancer stem cell hypothesis suggests that tumors contain a small population of cancer cells that have the ability to undergo symmetric self-renewing cell division. In tumors that follow this model, cancer stem cells ...
