Extremely happy to share that a part of my PhD project just got published in Cell Death and Disease rdcu.be/d7x68
In this work, we uncover how prostate tumor microenvironment drives tumor cell plasticity

Sad to hear about the passing of John Gurdon, a titan and pioneer of developmental biology and much more. Winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology, shared with Shinya Yamanaka, who actually was inspired by his work

Are 90% of cancer-related deaths due to metastasis? Apparently the overuse of this percentage in reviews has created confusion and questioning of whether this is true. The answer, which is as always cancer type dependent, may be in these references that also people claim they cannot find.

As a new postdoc in my lab (@cshlnews.bsky.social → @jhu.edu) @adrover.bsky.social (now @crick.ac.uk) saw NETs in tumors—I shrugged. But he looked closer in 3D: NETs block tumor vessels, driving necrosis, hypoxia, EMT & metastasis.
