As of 18th Feb, we'll no longer be posting updates here. Instead, we're focusing on platforms that better align with our mission to foster inclusive collaboration, diversity, equity & trust among metastasis researchers worldwide. Connect with us here: linktr.ee/metastasis_researc…

Advocates! @CancerResrch's advocate focused virtual event that provides a deeper dive into our discussions from last week's diagnostics meeting is February 19!
Register today and share your questions - we'd love to answer them during the event!

Today, Dr. Kang @yibinkang will present as a distinguished speaker at @FoxChaseCancer.
So happy to see you again Yibin!
Meet the presidents! Dr. Yibin Kang @yibinkang is the Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis Professor of Molecular Biology @Princeton and served as the Metastasis Research Society’s president from 2016-2018.
We interviewed Dr. Kang about his research and involvement with the society 🧵...
4/...My favorite project is our study of Metadherin (MTDH) which is a classic example of cancer fitness genes and ideal therapeutic target to prevent or reduce metastatic cancers.

5/What were your goals as MRS president? 👩🏿🔬👨🏽🔬👩🏻🔬
To make MRS more welcoming to scientists and clinicians interested in metastasis research, promote junior researchers, enhance ties with patient advocacy groups such as @metavivor and @SusanGKomen, and strengthen our finances.
3/What is your research focus area? 🧬🔬
Our research focuses on tumor cell-intrinsic mechanism (cancer fitness genes) and stromal elements (stromal niche) that relieve the stresses tumor cells encounter during tumor progression and metastasis...

1/Happy new year from the Metastasis Research Society!
As we close out 2024, here are some additional studies that have shaped our understanding of metastasis biology this year. 🧵...
6/Timing of pancreas cancer metastasis. By profiling patient samples, the authors reveal immune remodeling in the pre-metastatic liver and propose liver sampling to determine pancreas cancer metastatic propensity.

7/Epigenetic states define disseminated tumor cell (DTC) fate. In this study, the authors find that hypomethylated DTCs respond to WNT ligands, extravasate and undergo dormancy, while methylated DTCs proliferate intravascularly.

Nice summary of some key discoveries published over the last 12 months
1/2024 was a big year for metastasis research! Check out our top articles on metastasis research from this year below. The field is driving progress and promise for patients with metastatic cancer.

6/Learn how immune cells in the lungs suppress breast cancer metastasis. This study shows alveolar macrophages induce metastatic dormancy via TGF-β2 signaling, offering new therapeutic insights.

7/Uncover the immune landscape of metastatic niches. This study maps single-cell profiles, identifying TREM2+ regulatory macrophages at invasive margins as drivers of immune evasion.
