His discoveries deeply influenced my decision to pursue my PhD at @crg.eu on stem cell biology and cell fate conversions. Years later I was fortunate enough to briefly meet him at an @isscr.org Annual meeting, a true honor as I got to meet one of the great legends of modern developmental biology

This study by @lauralorenzos.bsky.social in @natcomms.nature.com is particularly relevant > expression of immune checkpoint ligands shifts between epithelial & mesenchymal tumors, suggesting combo ICB strategies are needed for treating hybrid EMT & mesenchymal tumors

Cancer cell plasticity defines response to immunotherapy in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma - Nature Communications
Immune surveillance is critical to prevent the development and progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Here, the authors show that epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity in cancer cells is associated with changes in their immune checkpoint ligand profile during mouse cSCC progression, which dictates differential responses to immune checkpoint blockade.
