Science, field expertise, and survivor testimony united to protect those who protect others. www.news.uliege.be/cms/c_206715...

How do aggressive tumors hide from the immune system? A new study reveals that genome-doubled cancer cells epigenetically silence their own antigen presentation machinery, becoming invisible to T cells. And the silencing is reversible. @danafarbernews.bsky.social www.news.uliege.be/cms/c_206680...

Soil bacteria can prime plant immunity, and a new study explains how. The surfactin doesn't bind a protein receptor: it physically reshapes the plant cell membrane, activating mechanosensitive ion channels that trigger defense responses throughout the plant. www.news.uliege.be/cms/c_206644...

New research shows that integrating livestock into crop rotations builds climate resilience, sequesters soil carbon, and cuts nitrate leaching, while keeping food systems aligned with healthy diets. www.gembloux.uliege.be/cms/c_136743...
