A fantastic viewpoint by @frezzalab.bsky.social network.febs.org/posts/thinki...

It reminds me of the lampost-and-key analogy described in this article by Michael Yaffe www.science.org/doi/10.1126/....
The goal is to understand network-based signalling.

Universities generate ideas and knowledge, for long-term societal progress, not short-term metrics.

"Universities are — and must continue to be — a force for good. Fresh ideas will allow the sector to thrive and deliver value for society."

Universities are — and must continue to be — a force for good
From funding squeezes to political attacks, higher education is in trouble in many parts of the world. Fresh ideas will allow the sector to thrive and deliver value for society.

It was a fantastic Swiss Apoptosis Meeting.
Great science and nice colleagues as usual.

This time this view of the Swiss Alps from Bern to Konstanz was a plus.

Neurons often receive mitochondria from other cells, supporting cancer cell spread

Neuronal transfer of mitochondria to tumour cells promotes cancer spread
Neurons often receive organelles called mitochondria from other cells. It emerges that neurons donate mitochondria that support cancer-cell spread.
