Great meeting at the Advances in Neuroblastoma Research in Amsterdam #ANR2023. See you again in 2 years in #WashingtonDC !

Fascinating new preprint on bioRxiv tackles a whale of a question:

Whales are huge. So why don’t they get a ton of cancers?

To inhibit, or to degrade? That was our question. In the case of #AURKA in neuroblastoma, we chose targeted degradation using #PROTACs. Read more about it in our latest paper! https://t.co/CRFsDIsGrM

Congratulations to Muhammad Rishfi @kdurinck @crighent @ugent for winning the EMBO reports poster prize at #EMBOcellSignaling with his poster:

Targeted protein degradation of aurora kinase a using protacs as a precision medicine approach in neuroblastoma.

What? ‘Gene and protein-based therapy of a dominant target in inherited retinal blindness’. Novel #antisenseoligonucleotide & #nanobody -based approach to target a dominant mutation in #inheritedblindness aka #NR2E3 G56R

[Elfride De Baere @elfridedebaere]

Who? Despite COVID obstacles Affy @MuhammadRishfi did brilliant collaborative work with Sarah Naessens, @elfridedebaere, Jan Gettemans @GulliverBiomed, Frauke Coppieters, Olivier Zwaenepoel, Steve Lefever. To be continued.

It's Okay to say "I don't know!"

There's no shame in that! The only shame is to pretend that we know everything.
