Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com)‬ paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social‬) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

Big thanks to Cancer Discovery and the authors of this commentary for highlighting our work! Really cool to see our research featured here! ☺️ aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov... #CancerResearch #Immunology #NKCells @marinelab.bsky.social

The SMR 2025 Annual Congress (Amsterdam Oct 25-28) covers basic, preclinical & translational melanoma research of international top investigators. It is a very enjoyable conference with top faculty and now improved with ample opportunity for young investigators to network. Join us! smrcongress.org

Now online in Cancer Discovery for the #EACR2025 presentation by @marinelab.bsky.social: Cytotoxic NK Cells Impede Response to Checkpoint Immunotherapy in Melanoma with an Immune-Excluded Phenotype doi.org/10.1158/2159... @vib-ccb.bsky.social @pozniakjoanna.bsky.social

🆕 Our back-to-back papers reveal a surprising villain in ICB resistance: NK cells. 🧬 Targeting regulatory NK cells may boost T cell–driven immunotherapy. #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #ICB #NKcells #Melanoma #CD8Tcells

📣 Join us! Were looking for a PhD student to join our lab and work on human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-based models of the peripheral nervous system and disease. Come be part of our supportive and dynamic lab family in the beautiful Bellinzona, Southern Switzerland 🇨🇭☀️⛰️ ior.usi.ch/events-news/...

We have a new preprint out! Led by brilliant PhD student @estefvazquez.bsky.social. here we investigate through transcriptomics and proteomics the microenvironment of ulcerated #acral #melanoma 👇🏾

We’ve recently described a transcriptomic landscape of human melanomas associated with immunotherapy outcomes: www.cell.com/action/showP... Here is our follow up review available online: "Decoding Melanoma’s Cellular Mosaic to Unlock Immunotherapy Potential" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here's the #Cancer #Research #2 starter pack 🤩 Researchers, oncologists, patient advocates & more -working across all aspects of cancer research and treatment 🧪🔬⚕️ I also tried to give some exposure to #PhD #students & #postdocs - randomly picked from followers of me or my lab! go.bsky.app/6EcjWNA

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers! I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more.. This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers 🧪🔬⚕️🩺 Hope its useful! go.bsky.app/FEoaJMc
