Our new study is out! 🎉
Driven by MD‑PhD Ludivine Bersier, our work shows how chemotherapy‑induced gut injury creates a systemic “chemomemory” that protects against colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis.

Many Congrats for a very nice paper ! Linking ccm with actin and its relation with the development of cavernous malformations.
Simply delighted to end the year with the acceptance of Yan’s paper www.nature.com/articles/s41.... It was a heroic effort on her part, and many thanks to all our collaborators for their help!
