@shouval_lab @SnehaPramod @hagargir and I reflect on the work of the ✨ TME community in a new review re fibroblasts in cancer @NatureCancer. 2025 was my yr to 🩵 the distraction of writing (IYKYK), so thx to all whose discoveries made this so gratifying. https://t.co/9nNnkvh3wX

@PoratShliomLab @cohenlaboratory @NatMetabolism Wow! Congratulations to the whole team! Such powerful tools and such a beautiful story. I am extremely interested in how mitochondrial-lipid droplets dynamics might regulate levels of lipid peroxidation in response to diet.

I am delighted to share this new review in @NatureCancer that I co-author with @AnqiDong18 In which we discuss the different EMT tumor states and their implications for metastasis and cancer therapy.

@obenaufa Congratulations Anna! You always do inspiring work!

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: https://t.co/jTlmZ70kaH

Proud to share @niseto’s (new PI @TheCrick) paper:
As a postdoc (@CSHL/@HopkinsMedicine), he found #NETs in necrotic tumors—I shrugged. But he looked closer: NETs block tumor vessel perfusion, causing necrosis, hypoxia, EMT & #Metastasis.

Astonishing article! Got my mind racing about all the implications and ways this could be explored! Congrats on another amazing paper @obenaufa !!! Congrats to @AnaisElewaut and all the authors 👏

@AshaniTW @BryanWelm I wonder if my PI would love a Wnt5a sculpture 🤔
