A single-cell atlas characterizes dysregulation of the bone marrow immune microenvironment associated with outcomes in multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable despite advances in treatment options. Although tumor subtypes and specific DNA abnormalities are linked to worse prognosis, the impact of immune dysfunction on disease emergence and/or treatment sensitivity remains unclear. We developed an Immune Atlas of MM by generating profiles of 1,397,272 single cells from the bone marrow (BM) of 337 newly diagnosed participants and characterized immune and hematopoietic cell populations. Cytogenetic risk-based...

First-in-child phase I trial of p-STAT3 inhibitor WP1066 in pediatric brain tumor patients

CONCLUSIONS: WP1066 is safe, has minimal toxicity, and induces anti-tumor immune responses in pediatric brain tumor patients. Phase II investigation of WP1066 at the MFD in this patient population is warranted.

Longitudinal profiling of tumor and immune compartments uncovers patterns of dysregulation and associations with response in multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of clonally expanded plasma cells shaped by complex interactions with the immune microenvironment. To investigate immune correlates of treatment response and disease progression, we conducted multi-omics profiling including CD138neg single-cell RNA sequencing of 243 bone marrow samples from 102 patients (631,226 cells) and CD138pos bulk RNA and whole-genome sequencing from 209 samples. In longitudinal analyses, interferon-γ signaling associated with markers...

Marina’s Talk Wins Best Oral Presentation Award at AWSOM 2025!

Congrats to Marina Michaud, whose presentation titled “Integrated Coding and Non-Coding Transcriptional Single-Cell Atlas of Multiple Myeloma: Unraveling the Effects of Myeloma Genotype on the Bone Marrow” won the award for best oral presentation at the 2025 Atlanta Workshop on Single-cell Omics! Way to go, Marina – your exemplary performance makes the lab proud! Looking forward to seeing even more great work from you.
