Our study out in Cell @CellPressNews on how germline variants shape tumors: Precision proteogenomics reveals pan-cancer impact of germline variants. Great work by @EsaiMyvizhi from @SinaiGenetics @IcahnMountSinai @TischCancer @SinaiImmunol &great collab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

“Medical professionals can no longer fully trust federal health guidance, and our patients are the ones who will suffer the most.” Excellent read from @danielleofri on the reality for clinicians as NIH, CDC, FDA recs are put under political controls. nytimes.com/2025/07/28/opi…
📣New from @alexisjbattle & co! 📄Sparse matrix factorization robust to sample sharing across GWASs reveals interpretable genetic components cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…
"good paying jobs" hahaha hahahahaha....: "American students spend years earning degrees, only to watch universities hand good-paying jobs to foreign workers on special visas," Congressman Tiffany said in a press release. newsweek.com/h-1b-visa-high…?
America is facing an unprecedented brain drain that will “present an extinction-level event for American science.”
In Science, researchers present BioEmu—a new #AI model that rapidly and accurately predicts the full range of shapes a protein can adopt, offering a faster, cheaper alternative to traditional molecular simulations. Learn more: scim.ag/4kVfrWS
As a mother - as a human - I find it very difficult to look at these photos and not weep. “Rates of severe malnutrition among children aged under five at Médecins Sans Frontières’ Gaza City clinic have tripled in the last two weeks…” theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Thrilled to announce our paper, "De novo-designed pMHC binders facilitate T cell-mediated cytotoxicity toward cancer cells," is officially out in @ScienceMagazine! We used generative AI to build a 'GPS' for immune cells to hunt cancer. Read it here: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
An analysis of how various tissues age is the latest to suggest that ageing does not march to a steady beat. go.nature.com/4kTATvn
Could radiotherapy help ‘cold’ #LungCancer tumours respond to immunotherapy? A new study in Nature Cancer says it might. These are tumours that usually don’t respond - they don’t have the usual signs that immunotherapy will work. But after a short course of targeted…
Decreased funding, reduced opportunities and growing uncertainty has made life tough for international postdocs living in the US go.nature.com/471cP6i
Moving to a four-day work week without losing pay leaves employees happier, healthier and higher-performing go.nature.com/44YXL6E
I cannot stress this enough: pairing a 4% funding line with the largest cut in NCI history will devastate the future of cancer research - and patients. We would be turning our backs on decades of progress.
New research shows that healthy lung cells exhibit early oncogenic behavior after exposure to airborne microplastics. #lungcancer buff.ly/wIhZuPI
Surprising findings from a 🆕 study: hay fever linked to a 26% lower risk of #lungcancer. A meta-analysis of nearly 4M people found an unexpected connection between allergic diseases & reduced lung cancer risk. 🔗 frontiersin.org/journals/medic… #LCSM
The FDA has approved a new test from Thermo Fisher Scientific to quickly match lung cancer patients to life-extending targeted therapy. #lungcancer buff.ly/zL7dguy
Many thanks to @TuomasTammela lab for their review of our @Cancer_Cell paper on subclonal immune evasion in @CRUKresearch TRACERx cell.com/cancer-cell/ab…
💥 A gut microbe metabolite that drives #atherosclerosis? Yes—Imidazole propionate (ImP) triggers vascular inflammation without changing cholesterol. 🧪 We show the pathway—and how to block it. nature.com/articles/s4158… #OpenAccess at @Nature @CNIC_CARDIO #microbiome #CVD
New findings in Science deepen our understanding of the role of membrane contact sites in cell biology and reactive oxygen species regulation. 📄: scim.ag/4mgAUuv #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/46dmyX0
