So @nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …

Check out our new study in @ScienceMagazine, where we take on a 100-year-old debate: what’s the role of aneuploidy in cancer?

We discovered that genetically removing extra chromosomes blocks cancer growth - a phenomenon we call “aneuploidy addiction”. https://t.co/K5ny7Ureph

Delighted to see this work, led by @Lukesimpsn, and a tribute to our late friend Andrew Johnson, published in #PLOSBiology: NANOG is required to establish the competence for germ-layer differentiation in the basal tetra ... https://t.co/goKRa3kYvQ @mattloose

Excited to share our latest work out now in @CD_AACR, a high-resolution insight into how advanced metastatic melanoma evolves as it colonizes various sites in the body. Huge thanks to everyone involved (patients, authors, funders, reviewers etc) https://t.co/J6owZgJGNP

[Sergio Quezada @squezadd]

We are hiring!! We are looking for talented postdocs experts in cancer immunology, molecular biology/antibody engineering to join ⁦@QuezadaLab⁩ ⁦⁦@CRUKCOLcentre⁩ and the team that will make the next gen immune modulatory agents for cancer. https://t.co/A4AI8KvUb3

[Ramiro Alberio @AlberioRamiro]

Very proud to see part 1 of the work led by the late Andrew Johnson finally out. Thanks @LukeSimpsn and @mattloose for the great work. #evolution #pluripotency #nanog https://t.co/fcBXtYKBIB

Have you ever needed to automate #PowerPoint in #R?

Well you're in luck! I wrote a tutorial on it. Enjoy!

How does a skin cell become melanoma? We built one to find out, to help understand this lethal disease. https://t.co/LmH13QCvGy @ScienceMagazine W/ co-1st @ele_tt, @johnkwon71, & senior author Aviv Regev. Early years joint w/ @LeviAGarraway. And many others in last tweet! 🧵 1/18

Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.

Sometimes the mental energy for complicated pipes with xargs just isn't there, and you simply need to get the job done.

Preclinical study suggests that AR blockade sensitizes prostate cancer to ICIs by directly enhancing CD8+ T cell function. Mechanistically, AR was found to bind to the IFNγ gene & thus suppress cytokine production in CD8+ T cells. https://t.co/fY48FjH6Ds #PCSM #ImmunoOnc
