What happens when unexpected happens!? 1) @johannalilja_ @IvaskaLab #JasminKaivola identified SHANK3 as a KRAS inhibitor 2) predicted SHANK3 depletion boosts KRASmut tumors 3) observed SHANK3 depletion kills KRAS-cells by ERK hyperactivation, apoptosis rdcu.be/dTQDP

So, it turns out that we now can do Western blot from single cells. Cool ! At least it worked for them in #cancer cells. Full story @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Unexpected and slightly overwhelming news from @uclmedsci. I am extremely grateful to @CRUKresearch for their constant support and most importantly the incredible scientists @uclcancer past and present who made this happen. A privilege to stand on the shoulders of giants.

The phrase ‘metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths’ is one of the most widely used in cancer research, yet it is overly simplistic & imprecise. Here we dig deeper into the events leading to cancer mortality nature.com/articles/s41568-0… 1/2
