Senate HELP committee endorses NIH budget increase, rebuking Trump administration’s proposed 40% cut. 🙏 statnews.com/2025/07/31/nih… via STAT

Any cuts to the NIH budget would stifle innovation and erode the nation's position as the global leader in biomedical research. I encourage all of our members and colleagues in the U.S. to ask their representatives to protect NIH funding: votervoice.net/AACR/Campaigns…

Great new work from Anthony in the lab! Continues our journey on sex differences in cancer, and now extends it to platelets! No nucleus (platelets) - still a problem in cancer - grateful to Scott Cameron 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸🫀🩺📟🔬🧫🧬🥋 and all our collaborators on helping us make this happen!

Congratulations Andrew Olander , who received his NIH/NCI F31 fellowship to study how early pregnancy affects the aging of mammary epithelial cells! Earlier this year, it felt like the odds were against us, but it finally came in! 🍾 #BreastCancer #aging #stemcells

1/11 In Science Magazine: A new perspective on how our intestines renew. Cells are not “pushed out” by crowding or die from apoptosis. Instead, cells play a mechanical tug-of-war, where weaker cells extrude, reframing gut renewal as force-regulated. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Can we root out the seeds of metastasis? Huiping Liu & team Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine identify a rare T cell subset that cluster circulating tumor cells to promote metastasis in breast cancer, then provide a proof-of-concept block using VLA-4 antibody in preclinical models:

I am delighted to share this new review in Nature Cancer that I co-author with Anqi Dong In which we discuss the different EMT tumor states and their implications for metastasis and cancer therapy.

Are you looking for a reliable strategy to analyze mammary tissue using whole mount images?? Well, maybe you should check MaGNet, our new computational based and user friendly approach (and you probably can adapt it to other organs as well). link.springer.com/article/10.100…

A fascinating study shows that the longest lived-rodent evolved a cGAS variant to boosts DNA repair while dampening inflammation. Uncoupling genome surveillance from inflammation may be the secret to longevity #aging #inflammation science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
