Huge congratulations 🥳 to @jessicapantaleo.bsky.social for defending her doctoral thesis in such a graceful and expert manner! We are very proud of Dr Pantaleo, you deserve all the praise 👏 Big thanks to Faculty opponent @momobentires.bsky.social for insightful discussions and a generous attitude.

New paper out from the @kpietraslab.bsky.social lab. I am happy to share that my first-author paper is now published. We map the spatial and temporal dynamics of cancer-associated fibroblasts in breast cancer using integrated spatial proteomics and transcriptomics. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We are proud to share that our PI has been named Cancer Researcher of the Year by @Cancerfonden! This well-deserved recognition highlights not only his outstanding contributions to cancer research but also his creativity in tackling scientific challenges and his inspiring leadership within our team.

At the Brain Tumor Microenvironment Symposium @institutducerveau.bsky.social, Sebastian Braun presented our comprehensive study of pericytes in GBM 🤩. Pericytes act as guardians of the peri-vascular niche to prevent malignant cell invasion, read more at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled to see our work on CAFs and endocrine resistance in luminal breast cancer being recognized by @Oncogenejournal as one of the most downloaded papers in 2024 and part of their 'Best of 2024' collection

Thanks @oncogenejournal for highlighting our work on cancer-associated fibroblasts that enable endocrine resistance in luminal breast cancer www.nature.com/collections/...

We have been waiting impatiently but can finally share our latest efforts in understanding the biology of the TGF-beta type I receptor ALK1 (gene name ACVRL1), see graphical abstract in post and the full article here: www.jci.org/articles/vie... 1/6

We love to explore unexpected findings 🤔 Check out our two latest studies detailing the unexplored expression of ALK1 in immunosuppressive macrophages and the critical role of pericytes as a paracrine signaling hub in GBM. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We are live 🕺! Recruitment for the exciting MSCA doctoral network Adaptmet is now open. Join us and great collaborators across Europe to explore fundamental mechanisms of metastatic dissemination: adaptmet.eu/recruitment/
