Proud of our @nyulangone Dean (and prior @Perlmutter_CC Director) Alec Kimmelman for his @Nature paper today: Hepatocytes promote liver metastasis of #PancreaticCancer by providing serine nature.com/articles/s41586-0… With @BarDafna @RichPossemato @KoelinaG @nyugrossman

Hepatocytes promote liver metastasis of pancreatic cancer by providing serine

Nature - Metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in the liver that lack the enzyme necessary to synthesize serine can reprogram hepatocytes to produce this amino acid, thus promoting...

Cancer patients waste away partly because their own fat starts burning itself. The signal that starts it is not a cytokine. It is iron. Could this insight lead to a drug to prevent cachexia in cancer patients? doi.org/10.1038/s43018-026-0…

An iron-regulated methionine redox axis governs adipose browning and cancer cachexia

Nature Cancer - Chio and colleagues describe an iron-dependent pathway with a role in the induction of cancer cachexia-linked events such as adipose browning and identify methionine sulfoxide...

Excited to share our new review in @CellCellPress. We propose fibrosis is a reversible state encoded in chromatin circuits shaped by immune-stromal crosstalk, and that rewiring this logic may offer durable therapeutic paths. @GladstoneInst authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Engineering our immune cells has successfully treated many types of cancer and even led to cure of some autoimmune diseases. But the engineering of cells was done outside the body, is highly complex, takes 3 to 6 weeks, and is not scalable. But now there are many in vivo (inside the body) Phase 1 clinical trials reading out soon. Watch this space. nature.com/articles/d41573-0…

Using single-cell immune profiling, scientists from the University of Osaka analyzed T cells from #supercentenarians and found that cytotoxic T lymphocytes begin to expand around the age of 100, characterized by sequential CD27/CD28 loss without exhaustion. bit.ly/4y8im5t 📖: @CellReports
