What if cancer immune evasion is driven by metabolites, not mutations?
Tumor-derived metabolites actively suppress immunity and rewire immune cell fate—offering new therapeutic targets.

🚨BREAKING: Starving parents in C. elegans pass on longer lifespans to their kids, because apparently hunger is hereditary, but make it epigenetic. "Eat less, live longer—your great-great-grandworms will thank you".@science.org

Lysosomes signal through the epigenome to regulate longevity across generations
The epigenome is sensitive to metabolic inputs and is crucial for aging. Lysosomes act as a signaling hub to sense metabolic cues and regulate longevity. We found that lysosomal metabolic pathways sig...
