Please protect funding for the CDMRP, including the Prostate Cancer Research Program! Cutting it would slow life-saving research and impact patients who need better treatment options. Please ensure that CDMRP is fully funded. Thanks! Kweisi Mfume John James Rep. Andy Harris, MD

Angiocrine signaling is rocking - pericrine signaling is the new kid on the block: Hepatic stellate cells control liver function (‘HSCs make the liver great again’) – now published nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…). Fantastic collaboration with the Robert Schwabe lab Columbia Univ.



Why do circulating ovarian cancer clusters hve #ECM? How do clusters survive confining anatomies? Do clusters show heterogeneity in mechanics?

Modulating AP-1 enables CAR-T cells to establish an intratumoral PD-1+ Tcf1+ stem-like reservoir and overcomes resistance to PD-1 axis blockade biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Shivani Srivastava


Powerful new story from the Srivastava Lab Shivani Srivastava


Interested in the mysteries surrounding metastasis evolution? This perspective in Nature Reviews Cancer is my best attempt at proposing a framework that could help advance our thinking about the topic. Well. At least it helped advance my own thinking. 😅 nature.com/articles/s4156…


What factors enable CAR-Ts to respond to checkpoint blockade, and can they be engineered to be more sensitive to enhancement? We explore this question in our lab’s first pre-print, led by MSTP student AJ Snyder with great collaborations with Evan Newell and Scott Furlan. 1/

#AACR25 come check out SY20 Wednesday at 10:15am to discuss Lymph Nodes and Lymphoid Structures in Cancer with me, Tullia Bruno, PhD and Ziv Shulman Lab !!


Such an honor to present Senator Senator Patty Murray with an award on behalf of National Breast Cancer Coalition for her unwavering support of NBCC’s legislative priorities, especially the DoD Breast Cancer Research Program. We’re very lucky to call her our Senator.



Between alarms and sheltering, I learned last night that my postdoc mentor, Professor Atul Butte Atul Butte, has passed away, and he is only 55 years old. This is devastating news 💔. Atul was a giant in so many ways. He was a visionary leader in translational bioinformatics



New paper out! We show amino acid restriction triggers genome-wide H4K20me1 loss and MYC activation—priming cells for rapid protein synthesis upon refeeding. A chromatin-based strategy for surviving nutrient stress with implications for MYC-driven cancers. cancerandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
