Delighted to see this story out and collaborate with amazing teams led by @jdegregori.bsky.social Mercedes Rincon & @roelvermeulen.bsky.social. Proud to see science propelled by our lab @cdi-einstein.bsky.social expanded to better understand cancer dormancy. Congrats! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumor cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day trigger a relapse. Now, experiments show for the first time these rogue cells can be roused from their slumber by common respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 or the flu.

For early career researchers in our community - this is invaluable. Info here: public.csr.nih.gov/ForReviewers...

Check out how we tackled one of the fundamental challenges in immunology, out today @cp-cellsystems.bsky.social: www.cell.com/cell-systems.... Our major innovations are BATCAVE and BATMAN, two new players to get us closer to solving TCR-pMHC predictions!

It's my first #newPI roll call on BlueSky! Calling all new #cancer PIs who just started or who are about to start their labs! Please say hi and what you work on so I can follow you if I don't already! 😃

📢 Open Call! The Max Perutz Labs invite applications for a Tenure-Track Professorship in Mechanistic Cell and Developmental Biology. More details ➡️ tinyurl.com/3fbkp89c

@megeblad.bsky.social once more revealing significant cancer biology - Congrats! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A fascinating study reports that neutrophils and NETs actively induce tumor necrosis. Congratulations, BDP @megeblad.bsky.social and @adrover.bsky.social on your latest publication in @nature.com.

Our latest review !

Great news! The AACR journals are now on BlueSky! Be sure to follow @aacrjournals.bsky.social!! #FollowFriday

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly. Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent. You can sign up at the link below! www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

Check out some #CoolScienceImages (with music by Victor Leksell) from a @nature.com paper. In the study, @adrover.bsky.social, @megeblad.bsky.social, et al. found that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) drive tumor necrosis and metastasis: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #FluorescenceFriday 🧪

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. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @jhu-bdps.bsky.social @nature.com

Exciting new work at @nature.com showing that Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in the vasculature can actively promote necrosis in cancer and that targeting NETs is can reduce necrosis and metastasis. Great work from @adrover.bsky.social @megeblad.bsky.social

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) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I had a wonderful time in the Tumor Microenvironment Working Group session! #AACR25 Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and lively discussion!

[email protected] Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded for a period of three years and support excellent postdoctoral researchers in laboratories throughout Europe. Is that you? Apply by 20 August: eacr.org/eacr-fellows...

#WeekendRead! #BeyondNETosis! @caroleparentlab.bsky.social @sbarya.bsky.social &co show @natcellbio.nature.com that neutrophils can secrete nuclear-derived exosomes containing LTB4 & DNA which direct migration but at also favor inflammation resolution via neutrophil retrotransmigration!

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to come work with us: www.cruk.manchester.ac.uk/career/mi-25... Please reach out

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation. Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants: 1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process. 2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers. 3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.

I'm so excited for #ICDB2025, it's looking like such a great meeting and I'm honored to share our work!

Only a few days left before The CheckPoints: Rockin’ for a Cure! Join us on Sunday, June 1 at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago. A suggested donation of $30 at the door will support the #SITCForwardFund. Learn more: www.sitcancer.org/about/the-ch...

Up until June 2 (Monday) you can apply for scholarship to attend GBCC2025 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This is the Bioconductor / Galaxy joint conference at the end of June. You should submit a poster abstract to apply for scholarship. Scholarship details below.

I am pleased to share our recent publication, fruit of a wonderful collaboration with truly amazing colleagues @adrienneboire.bsky.social and @meningojan.bsky.social, whose work was a tour de force demonstrating that immunology in the brain is a different beast -> www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As the incoming Chair of Biochemistry and Biophysics at Weill Cornell Medicine, I am looking for a Director of Research. Exciting opportunity for a PhD scientist to shape the future of this new Department! Apply here: jobs.weill.cornell.edu/NY/job/New-Y...

Thanks to all at #AACR25 for an inspiring and impactful annual meeting! Filled with cutting-edge science 🧪- and the direct impact of those discoveries for patients with #cancer Special thanks to co-chairs @mvhlab.bsky.social @lilliansiu.bsky.social #CancerResearchSavesLives @theaacr.bsky.social

Spring 2009 I opened my lab and accepted two @cshlnews.bsky.social rotation students now reunited at #AACR25: University of Hawaii Cancer Center clinician-scientist Elizabeth Nakasone, and Mount Sinai assistant professor and @theaacr.bsky.social NextGen Star @elvinwag.bsky.social - Made my day!

We all know how much the microenvironment matters! So grateful that the #TME field has so many fantastic - and supportive - women leaders 🙌 #AACR2025 🧪⚕️ #womeninscience #payitforward @theaacr.bsky.social

@johannajoyce.bsky.social giving a wonderful presentation about she and her team’s successful discoveries on immunosuppressive myeloid cell infiltration and their contribution to recurrence and progression of brain tumors and at the #aacr2025 Plenary Session

Representing the TME working group, @megeblad.bsky.social just presented a mesmerizing talk about the role of #neutrophils and their DNA traps inside vessels at the necrotic and peri necrotic niches and their role in metastasis A true eye opener!!! #AACR25 @theaacr.bsky.social

Impressive opening plenary presentation from @johannajoyce.bsky.social on Unraveling the complexity of cancer ecosystems. She highlighted the importance of the fibrotic niche and potential therapeutic approaches that target it #AACR25

This year’s 11 NextGen Stars will share their findings on cancer cartography, the dark proteome, cancer-resistant tissues, and more at #AACR25. Learn more about their work and its future implications on the #AACRBlog: www.aacr.org/blog/2025/04...

Ready for an amazing educational session on tumor dormancy @theaacr.bsky.social with Drs. Isacke and Ganesh.

Meet our #AACR25 Social Media Ambassadors! Follow along for real-time insights, unique takes, and highlights from the AACR Annual Meeting.

As we begin #AACR25, I feel obligated to ensure #cellbiology doesn't get short shrift amidst presentations that will focus on molecular oncology and #clinicaltrials (and deservedly so). Cell Bio is important.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

I had a wonderful time! Great conference and speakers! Thanks @casanova-acebes.bsky.social @sancholab.bsky.social and Carlos Silvestre for the great work organizing such an amazing meeting!
