I'm so pleased to share our new study out today in Nature Cell Biology where we found that brain resident microglia promote anti-tumor immunity to suppress breast cancer brain metastasis UC Irvine School of Medicine nature.com/articles/s4155…

Congrats to Katrina and Aaron on a beautiful cover image! 5 color immunofluorescence using CODEX shows that pro-inflammatory microglia infiltrate growing metastatic lesions in the brain.

Excited to share the latest from the @MarsonLab! An investigation of context-specific gene regulation in T cells, which led to dynamic mechanisms required to control T cell rest and activation. Published today in nature thanks to the work of many! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Pancreatic cancer cells “choose” where to spread based on a single protein. UCSF Dept. of Anatomy research shows how PCSK9 helps tumors adapt by reprogramming cholesterol access. tiny.ucsf.edu/mvPrKf
