Things like this don’t surprise me, but I wish we could stop talking about biology in terms of rules. All we really have are models, which either have real-world applications or they don’t. Keep breaking those rules, ants.
A common type of ant in Europe breaks a fundamental rule in biology: its queens can produce male offspring that are a whole different species

‘Almost unimaginable’: these ants are different species but share a mother
Ant queens of one species clone ants of another to create hybrid workers that do their bidding.

Saw the number plate P53 APC today and can only assume that I work with whoever owns it.

Read all about our small molecule pan-Ras inhibitors below! A 15-year effort from a team who still can’t get enough of near-impossible drug targets. I was only at the fringes of the project myself but pleased to have helped out here and there. Great work all!
🎉 Congrats to our scientists at The Scotland Institute on their publication in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry!
They’ve developed reversible Ras inhibitors with tunable affinity for active & inactive forms, a big step in #DrugDiscovery.

Finishing out in style with a thought-provoking address from René Bernards on therapeutic overactivation of oncogenic signalling.
A great final day with a strong showing for immunogenic cell death including the first clinical data I’ve seen combining IAP & PD-1 inhibitors. Exciting! #BACR2025

All done with day 2 of #BACR2025. Lots of great immune stuff today - I believe neutrophils were mentioned more than 500 times but I’m here for it.

Back in Edinburgh for day 2 of the BACR meeting. A bit nostalgic for my old commute, but I’m glad I don’t now have to get a bus to Little France. Or Roslin.

Day 1 of the British Association for Cancer Research 65th Anniversary Meeting. Some good stuff on DNA repair, nonsense-mediated decay, epigenetics, dormancy, metabolism and lots more.
Nice venue too - The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Back again tomorrow! @thebacr.bsky.social #BACR2025

Enjoyed visiting the Crick for the first time this week. Also if you’re in the area and need a breather then the nearby stretch of Regent’s Canal is lovely.
