Our lab is expanding and hiring both a postdoc and staff scientist! We study how metabolism and cell cycle states drive tumor progression, therapy response, and immune interactions. Philly is a great place to live and do research! See more at: airdlab.com.

Our latest paper has just been published in @Aging_Cell 🥳
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from senescent cancer cells are not just passengers of the SASP. They are both necessary and sufficient to spread senescence to neighboring cells 🧵

Our latest preprint, from @eerinberr is live:
Cytoskeletal disassembly by optogenetic control of RhoA signaling termination.

I am extremely proud to share this paper from @_Christina_Sch "Integrated metabolomics data analysis to generate mechanistic hypotheses with MetaProViz" in @JulioSaezRod ! Congratulations to all involved!

A #ResearchWatch summary of a recent study by Ragini Bhargava, Yael Nechemia-Arbely, Roderick J. O’Sullivan, and colleagues.
Thrilled to see our work on senescence & metastasis out! We found that chemotherapy increases ovarian cancer metastasis in a paracrine manner via fructose. Dietary fructose is sufficient to increase metastatis. This work has multiple implications related to both chemo and diet.
Online now!✨Cole et al identify fructose as a component of the therapy-induced SASP in senescent ovarian cancer cells and show that it reprograms cancer cells in paracrine, promoting detachment and metastasis @airdlab nature.com/articles/s43587-0…
Also big thank you and congrats to all coauthors and collaborators. @BioYupi @ApoorvaUboveja @mzspectrum @NadineHempel @CoffmanLab @oesterreichs @healthspan_AUG @zervanto and many others!
Extra special thanks to @bitlerlabucd who was always there to give feedback, selflessly provide data, and cheer this work on. We are on a crusade to change the way we think about chemo use in ovarian cancer
We are grateful that this work was supported by @theNCI, CDMRP, @UPMCHillmanCC, @PittTweet, @TheWistar

Good Sunday, all. Here is a superexciting summary of papers in #cancermetabolism and #mitochondrialbiology: biomed.news/bims-camemi/2026… @Bims_BiomedNews @mitoworld_org #keepreading

Another article with real world stats about gender bias in publication. Women corresponding authors are more likely to be desk rejected. The cumulative effects of rejection at all stages for women corresponding authors is striking.

.@ApoorvaUboveja is on a role! In addition her beautiful 1st author Nature paper, she just received an exceptional score on her K99!! I couldn’t be more proud of this amazing scientist and feel honored to be a part of her journey. Congratulations Apoorva!
Looking for a postdoc? We are recruiting scientists who are finishing their PhD to study how metabolism shapes cancer progression, immunity, and therapeutic resistance. Recent highlight: our Nature paper on αKG tiny.cc/ur15101. Learn more at airdlab.com.
