OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow, where tumor cells are in close contact with stromal fibroblasts. Using single cell RNA-sequencing we generated transcriptional maps of MM cells and their stromal and immune microenvironments. This revealed the presence of inflammatory stromal fibroblasts and bone marrow inflammation. I will discuss the identity of the MM stromal cells, their possible impact on MM disease progression and the interactions between inflammatory stromal cells and innate immune cells leading to a pro-tumor bone marrow environment.
