Thank you @theNAMedicine @MDAndersonNews and all who contribute to our mission to #endcancer - patients and families, care teams, researchers and supporters worldwide. Honored to continue this important work together
Jennifer A. Wargo (@jenwargomd) of @MDAndersonNews was elected as a member of the National Academy of Medicine in 2023. Congratulations and welcome! #NAMclassof2023
Happy to share our latest work showing that an ancient ER-localized RNase IRE1 coordinates with p53 to silence taxane-induced dsRNA and protect immune-cold TNBC from pore-forming pyroptosis. @CellCellPress @MDAndersonNews cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092…
Kudos to the amazing trainees @LongyongX @FanglueP and all fantastic collaborators!
Inhibiting IRE1 RNase in TP53-mutant TNBC allows taxane to be highly immunogenic, triggering dsRNA-ZBP1-NLRP3-GSDMD pyroptotic signaling cascade, turning PD-L1-negative cold tumors hot, and conferring these cold tumors hypersensitivity to PD-1 inhibitor.

Here are 10 things to know about our Dr. Jim Allison, who was recently elected to the 2024 National Inventors Hall of Fame. @JimAllisonPhD @InventorsHOF #EndCancer
#NIHF2024 Inductee @JimAllisonPhD has a deep appreciation for endeavors that enrich life. His love of music has led him to play in a blues band composed of @sitcancer members & immunologists or oncologists, called The Checkpoints. @MDAndersonNews bit.ly/44nkB72

Thank you @Goodell_Lab ! So fortunate to be in the amazing MCB department @bcmhouston with enormous support from Peggy and incredible colleagues!
Please give a warm Twitter welcome to @XiChenLab who just joined. -Fantastic faculty member in MCB department @bcmhouston. Beautiful new @NatureCellBio paper on protein QC in #HSCs! Congrats!
Thank you @SignerLab for writing a wonderful and insightful News & Views highlighting our paper @NatureCellBio ! We love the title "ERADicating stem cells from their niche"!
ERADicating stem cells from their niche. Our News & Views on exquisite new work from @XiChenLab in @NatureCellBio on how proteostasis regulation by the ERAD pathway influences the interaction of HSCs with their perivascular niche in the bone marrow. rdcu.be/b7vFR
Very pleased to share our latest work on ER-Associated Degradation (#ERAD) as a critical protein quality checkpoint that controls HSC-niche interaction and determines the fate of HSCs. @NatureCellBio @bcmhouston
