Components of normal tissue architecture maintain structure (+ fxn) & serve as barriers to tumor progression…but how? We report a 🧩 in our new preprint. Congrats to 1st author @kathrinaonate & thx to collabs @MSKCancerCenter @OHSUKnight @StanfordMed! 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our latest @Nature paper is out! We show that transplanting mitochondria into endothelial cells boosts their ability to form blood vessels in ischemic tissues, with mitophagy as the key mechanism. A potential game-changer for vascular cell therapies. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

More evidence that the liver & pancreas are in active communication in the setting of #PancreaticCancer. There is published data already on how the primary pancreatic cancer alters the pre-metastatic niche in the liver (see next tweet). But how does the liver clap back? Nice study by Meredith Stone (now faculty with @LabBeatty) in @NatImmunol on the immune suppressive effects of hepatocyte alterations on the primary cancer tumor microenvironment (TME). nature.com/articles/s41590-0…

It has been a long journey but our perspective "Linking cell mechanical memory and cancer metastasis" is finally out! Many thanks to my co-authors, my mentor @RogerDKamm1, and the incredible team of @NatureRevCancer for contributing to bringing this article to light.
🔥 Hot off the press 🔥 We are excited to share our @SpringerNature @NatureRevCancer perspective on the role of cell mechanical memory in cancer metastasis, led by @MITdeptofBE postdoc @Elena_Cambria! Link: rdcu.be/dwlLA

My emotional COI here is taller than the Burj Khalifa. With that disclosure: nature.com/articles/s41587-0… behold beautiful work by the brilliant @JRo_Hamilton @doudna_lab @igisci on what I personally think will be THE paradigm for immune system genome editing for both oncology and other disease indications.

While not adequately acknowledged, the dysregulated extracellular matrix plays a pivotal role in cancer. Here's a new, brilliant review on it @ScienceTM science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… w/ great @ScienceVisuals

New #OpenAccess @trendscancer review from @ErezNeta @LMonteran @YaelZait It’s all about the base: stromal cells are central orchestrators of metastasis cell.com/trends/cancer/fullt… The trinity of fibroblasts, osteoblasts and astrocytes play pivotal roles in each step of the metastatic cascade in their respective organ sites. This review summarizes them wonderfully - pay special attention to the tables that highlights the evidence for each of the steps of the metastatic process (including therapy resistance) across different tumors subdivided by the three host cell types.

Cancer cell-intrinsic mechanisms driving acquired immune tolerance: Immune evasion is a hallmark of cancer. Ghorani, Swanton, and Quezada discuss the mechanisms whereby cancer cells avoid immune recognition and destruction and present a conceptual framework that places these immune evasion mechanisms in the context of pathways used to maintain physiological tolerance to self. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
