Thrilled our Perspective in @nataging.nature.com is out! With Matthew D Park et al., we spotlight how aging reshapes RTMs and skews myelopoiesis–with consequences for healthy aging and cancer @miriammerad.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s43...
Restoring resident tissue macrophages to combat aging and cancer - Nature Aging
Park and colleagues propose a conceptual framework in which dysregulation of resident tissue macrophages is both a central contributor to how an aging immune system causes diseases, including cancer, ...

New preprint out! 🚀Spearheaded by @chiarafalcomata.bsky.social we could show how pancreatic cancer cells evade the immune system by modulating their TME with the extracellular factors Serpine1 (PAI-1) and Serpinb2 (PAI-2)! #PertrubMap #PDAC
🚨 Our new #preprint is out!
doi.org/10.1101/2025...
We used #PerturbMap spatial functional genomics in pancreatic cancer to track tumor clone dynamics and uncover how extracellular factors like Serpine1 and Serpinb2 drive immune evasion. 🧵 (1/8)

First lab Bluesky post! Happy to share new papers:

PRINT: Using Perturb-map, we show in @cellpress.bsky.social how ovarian tumors resist immunotherapy > www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

PREPRINT We developed a new technology to easily generate cell-targeted LNP-RNA > www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Ovarian cancer-derived IL-4 promotes immunotherapy resistance
Cancer-derived paracrine factors create distinct “neighborhoods” in the tumor microenvironment, promoting clonal selection and tumor heterogeneity. In ovarian cancer, IL-4 originating from a minority ...
