Leveraging #CRISPR activation screens, researchers identify the lipid metabolism protein ACBP as a key driver of bone metastasis, and show etomoxir or a ferroptosis inducer can prevent bone metastasis in mice. @LiMaCancerLab @MDAndersonNews scim.ag/4dAYFtY

#EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Deng @LiMaCancerLab &co show @NatMetabolism that during liver damage, LIFR drives production of CXCL1 by hepatocytes to recruit bone marrow neutrophils. LIFR also increases cholesterol secretion that makes neutrophils reparative! nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

“#Neurosurgery needs molecular biology” - true in 1997 and true today. @kkariko talks about joy and struggles in science, with shout-out to former @PennNSG resident @drdavidlanger, an early collaborator. @Penn @PennMedicine #NobelPrize

Shocked to hear Jeff Pollard died. He was incredibly influential in pioneering the links between macrophages and cancer. I always appreciated his rigour and frankness. Good to remember this absolute classic from 2011, which was a game-changer:

First-in-class YAP/TEAD inhibitor VT3989 was well-tolerated with durable antitumor responses in patients with advanced malignant mesothelioma, other tumors with NF2 mutations, says Dr. Timothy Yap of first clinical proof-of-concept for drugging the Hippo-YAP-TEAD pathway. #AACR23

Somatic mutations accumulate in “normal” non-cancerous tissues (blood, skin, liver). But why are mutant clones selected? Do they merely proliferate more, selfishly? Or can clones adapt to disease? Could they protect tissues? We shed light on this: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gua9… 1/10

📢Sharing our exciting new study in Liver Cancer: "Definitive liver RT for intrahepatic #cholangiocarcinoma with extrahepatic metastases", which shows that pts who received liver #radiotherapy (L-RT) ☢️ lived longer than those treated w/ chemo alone.

Two years ago on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, @USPS issued a postage stamp commemorating Chien-Shiung Wu. Many said that Wu, a physicist, should have been awarded a Nobel Prize for her work. #WomeninScienceDay #ScienceMagArchives fal.cn/3vNEJ
