Good analogy for mRNA LNP delivery into solid tumors: “We have the death star, we have ships coming to blow up the death star, but there is interference.” #mRNAtherapeutics #ITMATSymposium #ITMAT2025
Cancer cells are addicted to glucose, and it is this affinity that is often used to diagnose cancers #cancer #ITMATSymposium #ITMAT2025
The best outcome of human genetics is to try to identify a protective variant. #ITMATSymposium #ITMAT2025
People who had restricted sugar early in life swap unhealthy sugars for healthy sugars even 50-60 years later #obesity #addedsugar #ITMATSymposium #ITMAT2025
It’s not just about health! Early-life sugar restrictions linked to better economic outcomes #obesity #addedsugar #ITMATSymposium #ITMAT2025
There are significant benefits of reducing added sugar early in life for those with high genetic obesity risk #ITMATSymposium #ITMAT2025 #obesity #addedsugar
