New paper from the lab out in Cell Death & Disease @cddpress @CBM_CSIC_UAM "Transcription-dependent and -independent functions of Drosophila p53 isoforms in the induction of apoptosis and senescence-associated tumorigenesis.” #p53 #Drosophila Thread 1/9👇👇👇

What happens when tumor cells can't find enough nutrients? They "call" other cells. We have found a new mediator of this phenomenon: the multifunctional cytokine LIF 👇

Cancer Cachexia is unintentional weight loss caused by tumors. Education and awareness are critical for patients and caregivers, and to progress. The Cancer Support Community have created an excellent educational document on cachexia. Link in the comments.

Thrilled to present our study aiming to identify new vulnerabilities in lung cancer: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Joining forces from mouse genetics, thoracic oncology,
metabolism, and AlphaFold fields we dissected the role of a largely unknown but essential protein in cancer, FMO4 🧵

Our review on a topic we eagerly enjoy exploring in the lab- how our fav immune cell types influence/are influenced by metabolic disorders preceding cancer- so much to learn! 👏🏻👏🏻 to #DanielTaranto for leading the effort, to @djkloosterman and the whole lab for their input! 🔥🔥

Delighted to share our latest study exploring how #glycolysis pathway alterations in fat body #adipocytes control remotely the integrity of body-wall #muscles in #Drosophila larvae.
Excellent review process by @emboreports

Proud and gratefull to share our last study on liposarcoma that that has just been published in @naturecoms
We show the link between muscle and liposarcoma. Targeting IL-6💊disrupts serine metabolism, slowing tumor growth and survival. Promising new therapies ahead!💪
