🚨 PERSEPCTIVE 🚨
TGFβ has a well-established role in cancer, yet its blockade has 🔁ly failed in trials. Barcellos-Hoff & Yom use HPV-driven cancers as a model to explain these discrepancies & emphasize the need for refined strategies to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Revisiting the TGFβ paradox: insights from HPV-driven cancer and the DNA damage response - Nature Reviews Cancer
Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) has a well-established role in malignancy and its inhibition has demonstrated strong preclinical activity. However, TGFβ blockade has repeatedly failed in clinical trials. Here, Barcellos-Hoff and Yom utilize human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven cancer as a model to explain these discrepancies and emphasize the need for refined strategies and understanding of TGFβ signalling to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Love the American Radium Society meeting. #ARS2025
Where you can actually talk and learn from everyone there.
For instance at this meeting I was taught that it is cool to wear brown shoes. Can you pick out the two faculty members in this photograph?

This is Pippa. She’s been on many scenic hikes and has seen many beautiful views. But she has also napped through her fair share of those views, and we don’t blame her one bit. 14/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

New paper out in @ScienceMagazine! In 8 studies (multiple platforms, methods, time periods) we find: misinformation evokes more outrage than trustworthy news, when it does it's shared more + ppl are less likely to read before sharing. w/ @killianmcl1 @Klonick @mollycrockett 🧵👇
