📢 Hot off the press! CAFs are major regulators of the immune tumor microenvironment. In our new review we dissect a fascinating aspect of this regulation: CAF-induced physical constraints controlling T cell state and localization in solid tumours nature.com/articles/s41568-0…

I am pleased to share the final version of our Human Breast Cell Atlas with @MarioniLab now out @NatureGenet. There are important new additions, which I will leave to @Dr_SaraPensa and @AustinDReed to mention👇 . Couple of points i want to highlight 👇: nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
I am very pleased to share our second and largest contribution to “The Human Breast Cell Atlas” (HBCA) project. Buckle up a longish thread ahead! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Beautiful new study of CAR-T therapy targeted at prostate cancer cells, enhanced with carboplatin to hit the TME. Combination cancer therapies targeting tumour + TME are for sure the way forward.
Replying to @ReneaTaylor1
4. Carboplatin altered the TME by modifying cancer-associated fibroblast #CAF phenotype, enhancing #ECM degradation and re-orienting M1 #macrophage differentiation, thereby enhancing T cell trafficking and retention in the tumor mass
