Early Epigenetic and Metabolic Responses to the Adipocyte Secretome Reveal Stress-Adaptive States in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Ashley Townsel, Maya Jaffe, Shiyu He…·Karmella Ann Haynes

This study identifies how adipocyte secretome induces metabolic and epigenetic changes in TNBC cells, promoting stress-adaptive states through chromatin remodeling and metabolic reprogramming.

Tet Transgene Activation is Disrupted in Lipogenic Triple Negative Breast Cancer Cells

Ashley Townsel, Yifei Wu, Maya Jaffe…·Karmella Ann Haynes

The paper shows that lipogenic metabolism in breast cancer cells disrupts Tet transgene activation by affecting chromatin remodeling substrates and cofactors.
