Locally elevated cholesterol in colorectal cancer cells was observed to drive Wnt–β-catenin signaling through Dishevelled (Dvl). Inhibitors targeting the cholesterol-Dvl interaction suppress tumor growth without adverse side effects.

After the talk, the positive and supportive comments reminded me how generous and mindful the scientific community is. Sincere thanks to everyone who talked to me and/or contributed to the cause!

In the past month, series of high magnitude earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria, killed 46,000+ people and left many more homeless. I had an opportunity to give a talk at #BPS2023 where I also addressed this tragic event and how to help who were affected. ++

Insightful and inspirational talk 🦠 by graduate @BeckmanFnd fellow @defnegorgun of @tcbguiuc @emadtaj ! @BeckmanInst @MCB_Illinois @GradCollegeIL #BPS2023

[Ozlem Dmr @Ozlem__Dmr]

It is deafening to notice the indifference of people to human tragedy when it happens elsewhere. Not expecting people to change their lives…but not even a single sentence when 40+ thousand people passed away and millions lost everything in one night?
