Why do some #cancer cells develop treatment #resistance? The answer may lie in hidden “storage hubs” inside #tumour cells, which create uneven drug exposure across tumours, according to new #research led by @louisefets.bsky.social from 🇬🇧 @mrc-lms.bsky.social.

“Hidden drug storehouses” could explain treatment resistance in cancer

One of oncology’s biggest challenges is that the same treatment can work well for some patients but fail completely in others.

Great collaboration that took us to places we definitely were not anticipating! Thank you Zoe and congratulations to you too! 🎉 ♥️

Zoe Hall@zoehall-icl.bsky.social · 5mo ago

In our new paper with @louisefets.bsky.social we show with #MSI that drugs can accumulate heterogeneously in #ovarian #cancer and may explain why treatments work well in some patients and not others. Huge congrats to Carmen Ramirez Moncayo, Louise and all authors! bit.ly/4byaY9W

Join us in Belfast for two days of rigorous metabolic science, ECR-led talks and posters, and exciting opportunities for collaboration. The UK Cancer Metabolism Network is a young but fun and open community - do check out the meeting, registration open until 24th March!

Congratulations Will Scott and team @mrc-lms.bsky.social on some fantastic work looking at how adipose tissue remodels in obesity and weight loss.

MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences@mrc-lms.bsky.social · last yr.

A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue. A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.

Fantastic time at the lab's first retreat with @Alexis_Barr lab - great to get away and have some time for team building and big picture thinking. Very proud of how open and engaged both teams were. Until next time!

Just back from a wonderful inaugural joint BarrXFets lab retreat with the wonderful @louisefets.bsky.social team. Super proud of both teams for their efforts over the two days - both scientifically & on karaoke

Louise Fets@louisefets.bsky.social · 2y ago

Really excited to be invited to this GRS event, these small group conferences are always a lot of fun and so great for learning and networking. Well worth a look for any ECRs in the membrane transport field!

Exciting data on the pro-survival role of p21 in NSCLC! Congratulations Steve and @alexisbarr.bsky.social, and I hope this will be the first of many collaborative papers together! 🥰

Alexis Barr@alexisbarr.bsky.social · 2y ago

New Year, new paper! (Ok, it actually came out just before Christmas but who was working then?!) Here we show that p21 promotes the survival of non-small cell lung cancer cells, under normal growth & after chemotherapy: rdcu.be/d4kvU

Medical research has transformed the treatment of #ovariancancer recently but resistance to the new class of drugs - parp inhibitors - must be overcome in order to realise their full potential. Congratulations Dr @louisefets.bsky.social & Dr Moncayo - the patient community is cheering you on!
