I'm delighted to host @ggargiul.bsky.social for a talk in the LUCC seminar series today. Medicon Village Auditorium @ 1.30 - you don't want to miss out if you're in Lund! Welcome!

We are proud to share that our PI has been named Cancer Researcher of the Year by @Cancerfonden! This well-deserved recognition highlights not only his outstanding contributions to cancer research but also his creativity in tackling scientific challenges and his inspiring leadership within our team.

And here's @rebeccarosberg.bsky.social (with others) accepting her poster prize to conclude a wonderful symposium in Paris 🤩🔥🧠🇫🇷

At the Brain Tumor Microenvironment Symposium @institutducerveau.bsky.social, Sebastian Braun presented our comprehensive study of pericytes in GBM 🤩. Pericytes act as guardians of the peri-vascular niche to prevent malignant cell invasion, read more at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We're excited to be at the Institute du Cerveau in Paris for the brain tumor microenvironment symposium 🧠 Here's Pauline Jeannot with the first presentation of the day from the lab 🔥

...and here's Karolina Smolag @karolinasmolag.bsky.social delivering the second Pietras lab talk of the day 🤩 We also have a couple of posters so please check them out if you're with us in Paris!

We have been waiting impatiently but can finally share our latest efforts in understanding the biology of the TGF-beta type I receptor ALK1 (gene name ACVRL1), see graphical abstract in post and the full article here: www.jci.org/articles/vie...
