FAK inhibition combined with the RAF-MEK clamp avutometinib overcomes resistance to targeted and immune therapies in BRAF V600E melanoma
By transcriptomic analysis, Lubrano et al. demonstrate that FAK-regulated pathways are enriched in BRAFi+MEKi-resistant melanoma lesions. In BRAF V600E melanomas, MAPK inhibition decreases RhoE (RND3) expression, activating the RhoA-FAK-AKT pathway and…

President Trump's NIH cuts will damage our health, our research, and our global leadership.

Thanks to my 149 House Democratic colleagues who joined @amo.house.gov, @degette.house.gov, @replindasanchez.bsky.social, and me in making the case to rescind harmful NIH cuts.

My #Yale colleague Harlan Krumholz explains why the cuts to indirect costs are a disaster for biomedical research in the United States. Want to do something about it? I'll list those who have to hear from us below. Share, recruit friends and family to help. 1/ www.statnews.com/2025/02/08/n....
The NIH’s drastic cut to indirect cost rates is a critical threat to U.S. research infrastructure
The drastic reduction in indirect costs is not a path to innovation or cost savings — it’s a threat to U.S.’s position as global leader in medical research.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

I wrote this just two weeks ago - could not have imagined how broadly #science and #researchers in the US have been impacted since then



Science is a #global community 🌍 🌎 🌏

We're all very concerned for our friends, colleagues, and young researchers in the US right now
