8 years ago today we lost our dearest #PatKeely who revolutionized the #TME #ECM field by introducing us to the diagnostic/prognostic tumor-associated collagen signatures #TACs

We miss her enormously everyday ❤️‍🩹

"No tumor is an island" and "oncology recapitulates embryology" - a fascinating conversation with the incredible @ashi-w.bsky.social at the CSHL symposium on aging.

We talk about how cancer rates increase with age, the T(I!)ME, and the role of Wnt signaling www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Txf...
