Brilliant work from Dr. Grelet's lab!

Happy to share that our latest study is now out in Nature!
Cancer cells steal mitochondria from neurons to boost metabolism, resist stress & spread. We built MitoTRACER to trace & tag these transfers in vivo.

Dr. Stephany Kim, PGY-2, joined Dr. Mallah and Cinterandes in Ecuador, assisting with mobile surgical care near the Amazon. “It was a powerful experience—bringing surgery to the people and helping bridge gaps in access to care.” 🇪🇨🚚✨

[Mike M Mallah MD @MikeMMallahMD]

Was incredible to bring Dr Kim down to work with @CINTERANDES. Really hoping to create a fellowship opportunity for Residents in the future. The experience is so invaluable and the impact is so immeasurable

Thanks to @MUSC_CGH and @MUSCSurgery for their support of our program!

Our partner Cinterandes completed a successful mission to Manglaralto led by Dr. Edgar Rodas. The team provided surgical care for members of the community with Futuro Valdivia. McKay Meyer, a 4th year student in our program, had the opportunity to learn about mobile surgery.

Kind of fun to see that Cell editors chose our 2022 paper on Mouse Synthetic Embryo Models by @Shadi_Tarazi @AlejandroAgCa @Carinejoubran among highlighted landmark studies they published in the last decade (Cell line 2014-2024).

Hot Off Press: AF patients with stroke due to symptomatic atherosclerosis have high stroke recurrence, hemorrhagic events, and mortality rates. Combination sAC+sAP may reduce short-term stroke recurrence but increase the hemorrhagic risk in the long term.https://t.co/y93Yn3Eyai
