Through a fantastic collaboration with @mariasecrier.bsky.social we show how dormant breast cancer cells occupy protected niches, presenting a therapeutic challenge. Congratulations to @cenkcelik.bsky.social for a super study

A new study maps where dormant cancer cells hide in breast tumours: tucked into neighbourhoods of immune + support cells that may shield them from treatment. Understanding these hideouts could lead to new drug targets🧬 @mrc-lms.bsky.social @imperialmed.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk

So much more relaxing to watch England play when it means nothing 😂

I’m sad we lost but can we appreciate the joy & excitement the England team have brought to us over the last few weeks instead of being so negative. Mistakes were made. Lessons will be learned. But what a ride. Thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ⚽️

Happy to hang out any time. Can’t promise it’ll lead to a trip to New York though.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WELL DONE ENGLAND!!!

ELEVEN MINUTES?!

The 11yo described our research as “sick” this morning. Had many reviewers’ comments over the years but this is a new one ❤️😂

Repost please !! We have extended the abstract deadline for the 2026 Santa Cruz Developmental Biology Conference to June 20. scdb2026.sites.ucsc.edu. Get those abstract in !

All this outrage about fabricated data on commercial antibodies. Literally the first thing I was taught as an MSci student was validate your antibodies. If they’re not good, you can’t trust any of your data. I’ve never trusted a company website but this level of fraud deserves mass refunds

Our fantastic PhD student, Ellie Robinson, wrote this in-depth review on phosphatases in quiescence entry, maintenance & exit. "This is an important & timely review for the field" Reviewer 1 😍 First of many articles to come from Ellie! @mrc-lms.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

G0 or no-G0, if you’re interested in learning the role of phosphatases in regulating quiescence and cell cycle entry read this new review by Robinson & Barr published in #BiochemSocTrans https://doi.org/10.1042/BST20250091 🧪
