After many years, and a pandemic in between, it is great to see this work from @XiewenLiu published at @ChemMater. We use our #MOFs to develop new therapies for one of the most difficult #cancer indications, #mesothelioma. We show slow drug release using new coatings and ...

Asbestos exposure can lead to a number of lung conditions including mesothelioma. We are proud to fund over £12 million of mesothelioma research to better understand and treat this cancer. #GlobalAsbestosAwarenessWeek

[The CIMR @TheCIMR]

A collaboration between @Prof_Marciniak lab, @rintoul_robert and Mathew Garnett @sangerinstitute has resulted in the first comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the human parietal pleura

.@QMUC and the ATOMIC-meso trial have found that arginine blocking pegargiminase based chemotherapy slows mesothelioma tumor development, increasing patient survival by 1.6 months - a welcome result for people living with this rare cancer.

Congratulations to Fellow @Prof_Marciniak (2011) & @TheCIMR team on mapping cells in the human parietal pleura (membrane around lungs). Poor knowledge of these cells has hampered drug development for conditions, eg pleural mesothelioma: https://t.co/Jy51dW7Zck @ERSpublications

Finally out! The first ever single cell atlas of the human pleura! Everything you ever wanted to know about mesothelioma cells! Kudos to Dr. Joanna Obacz , Prof Marciniak and team!! see paper here https://t.co/r8BxvnPA1u and 🧵from the great @Prof_Marciniak 👇🏼
