Super proud to see our work featured on the cover of @emboreports.org today. Many thanks to @pedromics.bsky.social for this beautiful interpretation and depiction of our story. Read the associated paper here: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

check out our new commentary on 2 recently published papers about #gdTcells in breast cancer www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

No one has done more damage to public health and trust in science and medicine than Andrew Wakefield. 26 years after his wrong and fraudulent paper people are still spouting his nonsense about an alleged link between vaccines and autism. The study was debunked countless times. There is no link.

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.

Proud to share an exciting study on the metabolic changes observed in the body before the spread of breast cancer. This seminal work could pave the way for early interventions and more positive outcomes for patients. Congratulations to all involved! www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

The Junior PI call @ccii-kyoto.bsky.social is open until the end of the month. Join us in Kyoto! 👇 #Immunology #Immunotherapy #Immunosky

Glasgow Caledonian University scientists, led by Dr Timothy Humpton, have discovered a new scientific pathway to prevent fatty liver disease, caused by Western diet high in fat and sugar, from progressing to deadly liver cancer. 👏 🔗 Read more: www.gcu.ac.uk/aboutgcu/uni...

@gounismichalis.bsky.social‬ et al. show that cells that seed early lung #metastasis in #BreastCancer have altered #metabolism. These metabolic alterations lead them to release extracellular vesicles which engender a microenvironment conducive to invasive growth. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

🎉 Congrats to our scientists at The Scotland Institute on their publication in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry! They’ve developed reversible Ras inhibitors with tunable affinity for active & inactive forms, a big step in #DrugDiscovery. More: tinyurl.com/y45t4yy7 #OnMyHorizon @acs.org

Read all about our small molecule pan-Ras inhibitors below! A 15-year effort from a team who still can’t get enough of near-impossible drug targets. I was only at the fringes of the project myself but pleased to have helped out here and there. Great work all!

👀 Lookin for some weekend reading? In their Review Kuball @jkuball.bsky.social‬ & Co provide a comprehensive overview of how γδT cells and their receptors can be harnessed and engineered for cancer treatment ‪@umcutrecht.bsky.social‬ 📖 ⬇️

We are recruiting two exciting #Postdoctoral roles: 🧪 Work with @clausjorgensen.bsky.social on targeting the tumour #microenvironment in #PancreaticCancer 🥼 Join @drwilliamhill.bsky.social to study air pollution & #LungCancer Full details of both positions at: www.cruk.manchester.ac.uk/careers/

Cutting NIH or NSF funding sounds abstract. Seeing what research is actually being cut makes it real. Kudos to @nytimes.com for this piece: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I know of 13 studies that have looked at #fertility following mRNA #CovidVaccination, all finding no effect. Yet misinformation that COVID vaccination harms fertility is *still* circulating! I spoke to @sciencefeedback.bsky.social #MedSky #ReproSky #VaccineSky #IDSky
