Pleasure to have a colleague notify me today that our article is in print in the @JCO_ASCO "Prognostic and Predictive Effect of Age in Molecularly Defined Lower-Grade Gliomas" ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.120…

7/n Age >40 is a surrogate for IDH in g 2-3 glioma, but is not prognostic in IDH-mut glioma or predictive of benefit from CRT. Age >40 in isolation should not be an indication for adjuvant therapy. Guidelines should be updated to reflect contemporary prognostic factors.

1/n Virtually every RCT of CRT for LGG used age ≥40 yrs as inclusion. Every major guidelines still cites age as a high-risk factor for LGG

1/6: I am excited to share our multi-institutional F-SHARP phase I/II trial, now published in @JCO_ASCO! doi.org/10.1200/JCO-25-02730 There are limited prospective data defining the optimal management of intraprostatic radiorecurrence (IPR) after definitive RT for prostate cancer. We asked: 1. Is dose-escalated focal salvage high dose rate brachytherapy safe and effective for IPR? 2. Can Decipher (@Veracyte) identify patients with higher risk of recurrence with salvage ReRT that may benefit from therapeutic intensification? 🧵👇

Excited to share our new paper out today in @NatureMetabolism! "Hyperglycosylation is a metabolic driver of Alzheimer’s disease" *We bridged spatial metabolomics (MALDI-MSI glycomics + lipidomics + isotopic pulse-chase tracing) directly to experimental biochemistry (genetic knockdown of glycan enzymes + glucosamine supplementation in AD models) and real-world public health data (EHR analysis showing glucosamine use linked to faster MCI-to-AD progression and worse survival). **Key takeaway: The AD brain shows conserved hyperglycosylation driven by ramped-up glycan biosynthesis — not just a byproduct, but a causal driver. Reducing it helps cognition; boosting it (e.g., via glucosamine) worsens outcomes. ***We applied cutting-edge spatial tech to functional validation and clinical translation. Full open-access paper: nature.com/articles/s42255-0… Huge thanks to the incredible team, collaborators (incl. Matt Gentry, Stefan Prokop, @ji0ngbi0n , Yi Guo, @lichenbiostat, Ralph Deberardinis & others), and the patients/families who make this work possible.

Excited to share our new paper with @Mitch_P and @Luke_Pike_MD @pike_lab! Nearly 4,000 brain mets patients treated with linac-based SRS at MSK: contemporary survival outcomes, prognostic factors, and what happens next with salvage treatment. 🧵 doi.org/10.1093/noajnl/vdag2…
