🤝 Hope is born when committed people come together to improve lives. Today, on #WorldCancerDay, we prove that this hope is happening. As pointed out by the brain metastasis research group led by Manuel Valiente, we are moving closer to advances that can improve patients' lives.

The hallmarks of cancer have gone galactic!

I have loved this series of papers since my first oncology lecture as a med student.

In this edition, TME, system interactions, & some enabling phenotypes are crystalized as dimensions, & discuss hallmarks↔️tx.

Cancer patients rarely get Alzheimer's.

And a 15-year study in @Cell just explained why. They found a protein that clears brain plaques in mice - by activating the brain's own IMMUNE CELLS 🧵

Volume II of The Evolving Landscape of Brain Metastasis: 17 leading figures in the field looked back and identified the most relevant discoveries since volume I, 8 years ago. The landscape is starting to look better, but still lots of things to do! https://t.co/dEuzWic9Pe

The Lipid Brain Atlas is out now! If you think lipids are boring and membranes are all
the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by Luca Fusar Bassini with Gioele La Manno's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Our immune system is an evolutionary masterpiece. Every day it protects us from the thousands of different viruses, bacteria and other microbes that attempt to invade our bodies. Without a functioning immune system, we would not survive.

One of the immune system’s marvels is its ability to identify pathogens and differentiate them from the body’s own cells. The microbes that threaten our health do not wear a uniform – they all have different appearances. Many have also developed similarities to human cells, as a form of camouflage. So how does the immune system keep track of what to attack and what to protect? Why doesn’t the immune system attack our bodies more frequently?

Researchers long believed they knew the answer to these questions: that immune cells mature through a process called central immune tolerance (see image). However, our immune system turned out to be more complex than they believed. Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.

🌍 ¡El Día Mundial de la Investigación en Cáncer ya está aquí y queremos celebrarlo contigo!

Mañana martes organizamos un encuentro muy especial, presidido por S.M. la Reina Letizia y con un panel de expertos internacionales, para destacar el papel fundamental de los pacientes en la investigación en cáncer. Todo ello bajo el lema: “La investigación en cáncer nos necesita a todos”.

📅 Martes 23 de septiembre
🕧12:30h (hora peninsular)

📍 El evento tendrá lugar en el Centro de Investigación del Cáncer (CSIC–Universidad de Salamanca), coincidiendo con su 25º aniversario, y podrás verlo de manera online en este enlace: https://t.co/4xKk6RSVGg

🧠✨ New preprint!
We uncover a brain-specific immune vulnerability in metastasis: the MIF–CD74 axis rewires microglia/macrophages into a pro-metastatic state — and we show how to therapeutically reverse it.
