This study just blew my mind. So tumor cells transfer their mitochondria into tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and basically stop them from doing their jobs in the process - metabolic dysregulation, senescence, immune memory loss, ... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The journal mSphere published by ASM provides an opportunity to early career scientists to write about studies that have influenced them. I was fortunate to be recommended by Dr. Alfredo Torres. Thank you mSphere and Dr. Torres for the opportunity. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

I loved reading this paper. It kind of explains why some lab leaders (due to stress) can start seeing threats where none exist. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

This work from Dr. Samuel Sternberg's lab reported a pathway for de novo protein coding gene synthesis from a non-coding RNA. Not only that, this gene does not have a stop codon! A commentary on this article is coming out soon in the journal mSphere. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

One of our studies on stress granules came out a couple of months ago. We found that innate immune signaling through the TLR pathway has a differential effect on stress granules based on cell type. www.mdpi.com/2673-7140/4/...

It felt so personal reading this article. It was also good to learn about ways to improve my mentoring style based on shared experience. Thank you David Caballero for sharing this! www.science.org/content/arti...

This just blew my mind! A study by Dr. Jacob Goheen's lab published in the journal Science shows how an invading ant species changed the eating habit of lions. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A collaboration between laboratories of Drs. Fernanda Laezza and Robin Stephens has identified a critical role for TNF signaling in driving brain pathology during cerebral malaria. The findings from this study are reported in an article published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation.
