I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad.bsky.social lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13)

Several mammal species live in cold-water environments thanks to adaptations like blubber and large size. A notable exception is the sea otter—so how does it stay warm?

A 2021 Science study found an answer: skeletal muscle thermogenesis.

"Psychological safety" was the #1 predictor of an effective team in a study by Google. 'In other words, for a diverse team to work to its fullest capacity, everyone on the team must feel that it is safe to voice his or her opinions without being ridiculed.' 🙏@virusesimmunity.bsky.social

1/Excited to share our latest work in Cancer Discovery @theaacr.bsky.social. Led with #MiyaHugaboom and @kstreet.bsky.social, we show that the presence of tertiary lymphoid structures and exhausted tissue-resident T cells determines clinical responses to PD-1 blockade in #RCC: brnw.ch/21wQUU4
Presence of tertiary lymphoid structures and exhausted tissue-resident T cells determines clinical response to PD-1 blockade in renal cell carcinoma
Abstract. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) targeting the PD-1 pathway have transformed treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but mechanisms underlying therapeutic response remain largely...
