Cancer patients waste away partly because their own fat starts burning itself. The signal that starts it is not a cytokine. It is iron. Could this insight lead to a drug to prevent cachexia in cancer patients?

Pain producing neurons around #cancer generate immune suppressive molecules...
The neuroimmunology of cancer is crazy...and its an area that is highly overlooked....

We’re hiring! Join the Hickey Lab at Duke as a full-time Research Assistant developing reproducible agent-based models of human tissues. We seek experience in Python, computational modeling, and biology. 1–2 years, Durham, NC. Apply/share: https://t.co/54NDXVPt2K
Excited to share our new review in @CellCellPress. We propose fibrosis is a reversible state encoded in chromatin circuits shaped by immune-stromal crosstalk, and that rewiring this logic may offer durable therapeutic paths. @GladstoneInst

Engineering our immune cells has successfully treated many types of cancer and even led to cure of some autoimmune diseases. But the engineering of cells was done outside the body, is highly complex, takes 3 to 6 weeks, and is not scalable.
But now there are many in vivo (inside the body) Phase 1 clinical trials reading out soon. Watch this space. https://t.co/p1j7KENUhq
The longest lived people among us, called "supercentenarians," have an abundance of cancer-killing immune cells, study finds.

Using single-cell immune profiling, scientists from the University of Osaka analyzed T cells from #supercentenarians and found that cytotoxic T lymphocytes begin to expand around the age of 100, characterized by sequential CD27/CD28 loss without exhaustion. https://t.co/8z1XkIzVcx
