In our latest forum article, @trendscancer, we discussed the critical roles of sphingolipids and the complement system in promoting cancer growth/survival. Check it out authors.elsevier.com/c/1hUGV….
Thanks, @AtkinsonLab – at Charleston, SC

A @UF team led by Andrew Judge, Ph.D., Carl Atkinson, Ph.D., & Sarah Judge, Ph.D. has received a $2.3 million grant from the @NIH_NIAMS to investigate strategies to treat muscle wasting and weakness caused by #PancreaticCancer.

Another patent for @AtkinsonLab and our lab @NM_Transplant on donor organ pre treatment with nanotherapy. One more step closer to the bedside. #sciencerocks

To all early-career complement biology researchers - fill out the ECCO survey! Doing so will help us understand our members' needs and to suggest ideas that will improve the field of complement research for all.
1.) ECCO represents and supports early-career researchers in the field of #complementbiology!
In order to do that to the best of our abilities, we want to conduct a survey to identify ECCO members’ interests and needs:

Please fill in our 10min-survey!🙏

After contracting COVID-19, Dr. Sean Devine's lungs were scarred & unable to work on their own. He was flown to @UFHealth, one of two places in the U.S. at the time that had successfully performed a COVID-19 double lung transplant. Hear his story of strength, recovery and love.

Important work by Sommer et al. showing organ-specific differences in tolerance induction in #transplantation.
Why is this important? A “one-size-fits-all” approach in transplantation is unsuccessful, and we can't assume that all organs benefit from the same immunosuppression.
Although the clinically applicable protocol showed success in #kidney transplantation, the study by Sommer et al. did not show long-term survival in a #lung transplant model, highlighting the organ-specific differences in tolerance induction. bit.ly/3eDBCRM

“This surge is actually much bigger than anything that we've seen before.”
Dr. Hiren Mehta describes the unbearable conditions inside UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida, as the COVID-19 crisis continues to worsen across much of the South. abcn.ws/2W0QTGe
