NEW: Today, I’m releasing a Surgeon General’s Advisory on the causal link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. Alcohol is the 3rd leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S., contributing to about 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 cancer deaths each year.

Happy to announce our collaboration with @Tcellogic on metabolic features of exhausted T cells is now out in @ScienceMagazine. TL;DR they can't use acetate to fuel their function. Great work by Shixin Ma and Mike Dahabieh. https://t.co/5skqGae52x

[Katherine Aird @airdlab]

Our work on metabolism of quiescent cells! A bit of a new area for us in collaboration with the Buckanovich lab

[The Wistar Institute @TheWistar]

Thanks to support from @TheVFoundation, @NanZhangWistar and @AuslanderNoam have been named as V Scholars and awarded $1.2 million in grant funding to support research that aims to improve existing cancer therapies. Our story: https://t.co/8BUmRC9iTL

My baby girl came on Monday night and closing the week with a first author paper from @DrRGJonesLab ! What a week!! Many thanks to everyone for all the efforts to get this paper out!!

No amount of alcohol is safe but the risk of limited consumption is limited but dictated by underlying conditions. This is an excellent summary of meta-analyses ⁦@nytimes⁩ https://t.co/ZZOVbnDLBn

New preprint from the lab is online! The product of a stellar collaboration with @Muir_Lab, we explore a chemically defined physiologic media formulation based of the metabolite of tumor interstitial fluid (TIF, or “tumor juice”) and its effects on T cell function! A brief 🧵1/

🔬 Excited to share @SchugLab’s latest findings at #ASMS2024! Join me at the poster session where we’ll delve into:
1. Targeted Metabolomics.
2. FASN (Fatty Acid Synthase) and fatty acid biosynthesis.
3. Coenzymes A, malonate, and succinate.
4. Mitochondria (should I add ‘powerhouses’?).

➡️ ThP133, Thu, June 6, 10:30 am ⬅️

See you there! 🌟🧪📊
