Disappointingly, none of these papers are addressed in the Nature Cancer manuscript, and no effort is made to show that ricolinostat is specific for HDAC6. The prior literature and the potential safety concerns that they raise are just ignored.

Usually I let these things go by without commenting, but in this case, the authors conducted a clinical trial and gave this drug to patients. In light of that, I think that heightened scrutiny around safety/off-target toxicity concerns is very warranted.

To be clear - our results were conducted in cell line models and investigated the question of whether HDAC6 is required in a cell-autonomous manner for cancer growth. We do not rule out the possibilityโ€ฆ

that HDAC6 inhibition has on-target effects in a cell non-autonomous process like inflammation. Still, thatโ€™s not what this paper claims, and the authors provide no evidence for an on-target, non cell-autonomous effect.

Our new letter on a misrepresented clinical trial has been published in Nature Cancer. In short: just because a drug inhibits a protein, you canโ€™t necessarily conclude that thatโ€™s the drugโ€™s MOA. Particularly when a decade of research show otherwise. nature.com/articles/s4301โ€ฆ

Reminds me the joke : What is the difference between an ontologist and a nitpicker? .. Ask the ontologist. More useful questions are which school do you like more? Did you talk to previous students? What is the curriculum like..

Delighted to share our work in print. Proud to pass the rigorous reviews by Jennifer Jones and Randy Schekman, a Nobel Laureate. The peer review file is available on the journal link. Thanks Angie Kim and the team. #ExtracellularVesicles #liquidbiopsy nature.com/articles/s4200โ€ฆ

I am out of twitter and only alerted by a friend about what is happening re:Eisen. Let me say this: when fascist/zealous men fight, innocent ppl die. Victims are victims-whether they are Israeli or Arab. Always side with the victim. I think that's what Eisen was doing.
