NOW ONLINE The ten Dijke Lab found that low expression levels of optineurin in triple-negative #BreastCancer are correlated with higher metastasis incidence, making it a potential prognostic indicator to stratify patients 🔓OPEN ACCESS ➡️doi.org/10.1002/ijc.34…


📄LUMC Leiden researchers have discovered a Long non coding RNA that acts a gatekeeper for epithelial state of normal and #cancer cells and that inhibits #TGF-beta-induced EMT of breast and lung cancer cells. embopress.org/doi/full/10.15… Video synopsis: youtu.be/IDD7rhGchfk


🚨Post-doc opening!🚨 Are you passionate to develop novel #microfluidics to capture #CTCs? We are seeking a highly motivated Post-doc researcher with an interest in cross-disciplinary research to join our collaborative project with ten Dijke Lab. RT🙏 lnkd.in/e3dY--tT


Op zaterdag 13 mei organiseert Oncode Institute en Peter ten Dijke een themabijeenkomst “Vroege opsporing en monitoring van #kanker” voor #kankerpatiënten en hun naasten, leden van #kankerpatiëntenorganisaties en #onderzoekers. Ga naar oncode.nl/events om je in te schrijven.



📃Are you interested in how an unannotated long non-coding #RNA, termed #LETS1, can enforce TGF-beta signaling in migration and #EMT in breast and lung #cancer? Check out our recent paper in Science Signaling from Chuannan Fan et al. LUMC Leiden science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


Studying cells and a zebrafish model, the ten Dijke Lab discovers that the #lncRNA LETS1 promotes the migration of cancer cells through a positive feedback loop that drives #TGFbeta signaling and #EpithelialToMesenchymalTransition. LUMC Leiden scim.ag/35p





Wonderful team effort w/Hinck/Maizels Lab: helminth parasite secreting the #TGF-β mimic delivers immune-specific responses by binding to CD44. This may allow for therapeutic strategies e.g. inhibit human TGF-β signaling in a cell-type specific manner. shorturl.at/lmrJ7


Our commentary on #GREMLIN1 acting as a #tumor promotor and suppressor is out! w/Brazil lab in Belfast and Julia Houthuijzen, The Netherlands Cancer Institute. There is more to the GREM1 story than the rules “no water, no sunlight after midnight” to stop Gizmo turning into Stripe. tinyurl.com/c6sfs235
