In the second, we discovered that cisplatin drives ovarian cancer metastasis through a metabolic cross-talk between senescent cancer cells with non-senescent cancer cells. We identified fructose as the upstream driver of this phenotype. First author Dr. Cole just defended!

In the first, @raquelbuj.bsky.social discovered that tumors can respond to anti-PD1 without T cells! Mechanistically, this is through a zinc-dependent increase in macrophage phagocytosis, and this is driven through cancer cell CDKN2A-mediated zinc compartmentalization.

The fact that he doesn’t have an aide to brief him on these topics tells you all you need to know. I’ve called and emailed many times.

This is a terrible take. I voted for a progressive democrat yet you are now seemingly a republican puppet. Your constituents want you to vote no!

I never imagined needing to care about the federal registry. This is the worst timeline

I need to write my PO, but I just feel so bad bothering her. 😥

That sucks. I’m so sorry

Thank you. So many labs and trainees are in worse positions. It’s devastating

Yep I had a 1% that was supposed to be in council today. Great times we live in

The problem is that they are not able to hold meetings to decide which grants to fund now. It’s very good news that NIH took a stand, but what about the future of scientific discovery?
