Exciting day at BraYn Conference 2025 🇮🇹! I presented our work on how surgery impacts tumors and how its consequences can reduce the effectiveness of standard therapy in glioblastoma. Grateful for the inspiring discussions and amazing Neuro-Oncology session! 🧠💪 #Research #GBM #brayn2025

Excited to be in Turin for the 8th BraYn Conference – Brainstorming Research Assembly for Young Neuroscientists! 🧠✨

Looking forward to sharing ideas, learning from inspiring colleagues, and exploring new perspectives in neuroscience.

A great day at EANO2025 where I had the opportunity to present our study: "Postsurgical ischemia fosters tumour cell plasticity in residual GBM"
The need to study the impact of surgery on residual tumor cells is pivotal to understanding how residual tumor cells behave and how recurrence develops.

🚀 Here's the exciting part: we can target this vulnerability.
We hit them with importazole (import blocker) and selinexor (export inhibitor).
🔥 Targeting nuclear import decreases the hybrid cell pool and enhances chemoradiation sensitivity, opening a new therapeutic avenue against GBM. (5/9)

🛡️ Therefore, these cells are resistant to treatment and are linked to a poorer patient prognosis. Using RNA-seq, nuclear proteome and scChIP-Seq, we discovered their Achilles' heel: a hyperactive nuclear transport system they rely on to import oncogenes like MYC and maintain their state. (4/9)

🤯 These hybrid cells don’t just look different, they proliferate like they’re on Red Bull and shrug off DNA damage after irradiation. Have they got superhuman repair skills? 🙄 (3/9)

🔬 Using dual fluorescent reporters for proneural & mesenchymal states, we tracked live patient-derived glioblastoma lines and uncovered a hybrid population expressing both signatures... let's talk about an identity crisis! (2/9)

🧠 Why does glioblastoma always outsmart treatment? In our #Neuro-Oncology paper, we identified proneural-mesenchymal hybrid glioblastoma cells that are resistant to therapy and dependent on nuclear import. doi.org/10.1093/neuo...
