📣 Publication in @nature.com
A new class of molecules capable of killing #cancer cells that are refractory to standard treatments and responsible for recurrence has just been developed by scientists at Institut Curie, @cnrs.fr and @inserm.fr

Read publication 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Activation of lysosomal iron triggers ferroptosis in cancer - Nature
Some cancer cells exhibit high loads of reactive iron in lysosomes, and this feature is exploited by using fentomycin-1, a newly developed small molecule, to induce ferroptosis.

It’s out! The first paper from my postdoc – and first from the @bhadurilab.bsky.social – is now live @natneuro.nature.com . 🧠✨

Using a new meta-atlas generation strategy, we identified functional gene networks that more fully explain how cell types are formed in the human cortex. (1/13)

Europe’s choice is clear.

To put science at the heart of its economy.

To become the home of scientific freedom and collaboration.

And to welcome talent from all over the world.

I’m glad to present the first elements of our Choose Europe Initiative.

Karla Flores had a tumor strangling her spinal cord near the base of her skull. Doctors weighed whether they should attempt a high-risk surgery that had never been done before.

🚀 New publication! We developed a PTPRZ1-specific TCR-T cell therapy for glioblastoma.

🔬 Key findings:
✅ Identified a PTPRZ1-reactive TCR from a vaccinated patient
✅ Kills glioblastoma cells with no off-target effects
✅ Eliminates tumors in murine brain models
