Brilliant new paper from Jie Yang @jieyang437.bsky.social and Rahul Roychoudhuri @roychoudhurilab.bsky.social linking aspirin to immune-mediated prevention of cancer metastasis.

Aspirin prevents metastasis by limiting platelet TXA2 suppression of T cell immunity - Nature
Inhibition of cyclooxygenase 1 releases T cells from immunosuppression by platelet-derived thromboxane A2, thereby enhancing the immune response against metastasis.

Gender equality is vital for a better future, yet women still face barriers & biases in pursuing scientific careers👩‍🔬For the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and bc role models matter, we at CIO want to acknowledge our women group leaders. To all young girls out there, you can do it! 💪

Female scientists are quitting academic publishing earlier than their male counterparts, even in biological-science disciplines that have roughly equal representation.

Study of biologists quitting academia reveals hidden gender gaps
Even in fields in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

Happy to promote our recent preprint watch piece led by Matthew Jackson - intriguing story on PD1 biology #preprintClub www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Redefining PD1 as a guardian of stem-like T cells - Nature Reviews Immunology
A preprint by Hor et al. shows that PD1 signalling regulates the maintenance of a high-affinity, stem-like T cell subset in tumour-draining lymph nodes.
