Excited to share our new preprint. We are only beginning to understand the role of platelets in sex-biased immunity in glioblastoma. Grateful for awesome colleagues, collaborators and the fantastic mentorship from @gbm-maestro.bsky.social and @2scottish.bsky.social

Sad to hear the news about the recent passing of Dr. Banu Onaral (R). She was the former dean of the school of biomedical engineering at Drexel - many of us benefited from her incredible support - she will truly be missed. We all are where we are at because of someone, she is that person for me.

New paper out of the lab in JCI - congrats Kristen on leading this great effort and identifying a new metabolite that directly suppresses T cells in GBM - www.lerner.ccf.org/news/article...
Common metabolite spermidine drives glioblastoma tumor progression by interfering with T cells
Cleveland Clinic researchers found the metabolite spermidine interferes with T cells in glioblastoma, driving tumor progression. This finding could help with treatments.
