Can we disrupt cancer’s evolutionary trajectory? Drs. Pienta, Goodin & Amend examine metastasis as an ecologic invasion—and how clinicians can intervene—in their latest #OpenAccess article in CA: https://t.co/kesXDaT9jX

The dual capacity for cancers to metastasize and resist systemic treatment is the tipping point for driving lethal cancer. Drs. Pienta, Goodin & Amend explore how eco-evolutionary principles can guide new interventions: https://t.co/kesXDaT9jX @Cancerecology @sr_amend @OncoAlert

[CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians @CACancerJournal]

“Studying, understanding, and treating cancer using evolutionary ecology principles provides an opportunity to improve the lives of patients with cancer.”

[Science Friday @scifri]

A new study challenges Peto’s Paradox, which says larger animals are no more likely to get cancer than smaller ones.

Dr. Sarah Amend from @HopkinsMedicine joins us to discuss the findings and what studying animal cancer rates could teach scientists.

Study in @PNASNews (https://t.co/6cFQ5RVLqx) by @HopkinsMedicine @brady_urology & @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci dispels 45-yr-old #PetosParadox claiming no link btwn animal size & #cancer rates. Data say larger species have more tumors. @PCF funded. More at https://t.co/J62uAZIu5N

AR coactivators, CBP/p300, are key players in #DNArepair in #prostatecancer. Targeting them could be a new strategy for treating CRPC.

Thanks to PIs @djmcconkey, @lupold_lab, & @aghazimd and in lab mentors. This summer experience is only possible through BSI-SIP, the work of SURE founder, Brandy Yeater, and generous support from donors. Thank you!

[Sarah R. Amend, Ph.D. @sr_amend]

SURE students who spent the summer doing research at @brady_urology presented their work at the CARES symposium today - great work done by talented students!

This thought-provoking set of rules for science by a Nobel Prize winner would be fascinating to discuss on the Night Science Podcast! @nightsciencepod

[EllisLab_ @EllisLab_]

Great work from @AyeshaShafi_PhD @CPDR_Labs hitting AR coactivators to initiate DNA damage and overall superior tumor response 👊🏼
