A study led by VAI’s Scott Rothbart sheds light on how interwoven epigenetic layers work together to sustain cancer cell survival. Their findings reveal a potential weak spot that could be leveraged to improve treatment. vai.org/article/pinpoi…

Our latest work, led by Benjamin Jackson and Angela Montero Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center demonstrates how intracellular metabolic gradients induce dependence on exogenous pyruvate in embryonic stem cells


Metabolism-enthusiasts at #AACR25, join us for a symposium on the relationship between diet, metabolism, and cancer cell state tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10:15 in Grand Ballroom A! Feat. Vousden Lab, Omer Yilmaz and yours truly


#Preprint alert! Kevin (Yan-Ting) Chen, a brilliant GSK Graduate School graduate student and NCI F99/K00 awardee, identifies a novel, post-transcriptional checkpoint on intratumoral T cell function: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

IL-17 is a therapeutic target for intestinal polyposis driven by mutations in the tumor suppressor LKB1 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Science Advances Russell Jones


Researchers discovered that cytokine IL-17 plays a key role in polyp formation in the digestive tracts of LKB1 mutant mice. This suggests blocking IL-17 with antibodies may slow the growth of LKB1 mutant tumors. Russell Jones scim.ag/3ZEYPuF


The prostacyclin receptor PTGIR is a NRF2-dependent regulator of CD8+ T cell exhaustion Nature Immunology Russell Jones nature.com/articles/s4159… nature.com/articles/s4159… Preview by Annette Oxenius


AAI Members Dr. Michael Dahabieh and Dr. Russell Jones from the Russell Jones at Van Andel Institute (VAI) found that the immune checkpoint, PTGIR, may be a potential treatment target to re-energize exhausted immune cells to fight #cancer. Learn more: ow.ly/m6Nc50WiHJC.
