Hungry, hungry immune cells can be programmed to fight cancer! CSHL Prof Mikala Egeblad and her lab developed a treatment that reprograms immune cells to consume breast cancer cells.

Today in Cancer Cell our study on reprogramming the immune microenvironment to limit metastasis cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…. It started >a decade ago, when Tim Kees, my 1st postdoc, convinced me to start a new project with movies showing macrophages killing cancer cells.


Our paper on reprogramming the TME to reduce metastasis is now out in print Cancer Cell (cell.com/cancer-cell/fu…). Beautiful cover art by @netjuanma.



What makes a welcoming home for a wandering cancer cell? CSHL Professor Mikala Egeblad (Mikala Egeblad) answers this by examining a tumor’s surrounding “neighborhood”. cshl.edu/fighting-cance…

I am excited for our new translational direction at Johns Hopkins Medicine Dept. of Cell Bio, Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Convergence Institute, and the brand new tedgiovanis Institute. 🙏to the Egeblad lab members moving with me. We are recruiting : ✍️ [email protected] to learn more.
