🧠 New research shows the blood–brain barrier helps control #braintumour growth. Led by Prof Louise Cheng in @LabFly , the study finds glial “gatekeeper” cells and a protein called Path influence how #cancer respond to low nutrients. Read more: petermac.org/about-us/news-a…

Our latest from @TheCrick … Sebastian Sorge led on this amazing new chemically defined (holidic) diet for fast larval growth & development in Drosophila. It’s called HoldFast, soon to be available to the community, in powdered form, from @VDRC_flies. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

#MayIsMelanomaAwarenessMonth. Dr Aparna Rao, a postdoc with @McArthurLab, investigates the metabolism of melanoma cells. Her research may better predict patient relapse and help us to understand what causes resistance to immunotherapy and other targeted therapies.
