Epithelial biology: polarizing proteins, elongating eggs, and cold-blooded cancer
We got into this because I guess I have the mind of a 7 year old and didn't understand 'how does cancer kill' -- thought flies could give insight. some info in this from @natrevcancer.nature.com pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34389815/

And so fabulous to dine out with former postdocs Anne Classen @classenlab.bsky.social, Thomas Vaccari @vaccarilab.bsky.social and Lucy O’Brien. Many laughs, fond memories, and talk of bright futures for all of them. #EDRC2025

Hosted a joint lab retreat with @LOBrienLab. Shared lots of science, some lore, and a bit of history, and introduced the Stanford folks to some of the joys of Berkeley.

Wrap here with thank yous to @DamonRunyon and @TheMarkFdn for funding @katyong1's work! Fruit flies are a pretty unconventional cancer model, but these folks took the risk to support it. Looking forward to sharing more as@katyong1 continues to work towards an independent lab!

Here ends another lesson on how powerful the fly is for studying human health. Even long-time Drosophilists can be surprised -- blood physiology wasn’t on my radar! It also illuminates that the mechanisms of host response to malignancy are truly ancient. Img credit: Joseph Hill

This is neat b/c the fly has an open circulatory system (no vessels), so can’t be dying from ischemic blockage. Given this, our tumor model offers a unique angle from which to approach the mysterious link between cancer coagulopathy and patient survival. Img credit: Magnus Muhr
