New insights into the role of p21 in lung cancer from the fantastic @alexisbarr.bsky.social!

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

Delighted to introduce our new spatial transcriptomics tool, SpottedPy, allowing the identification of tumour hotspots at different scales and the exploration of distances and overlap with tumour microenvironment niches: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

As a member of @smbmathbiology.bsky.social (and podcast fan) I listen to all of these, best way to keep up with the #science and the #scientists in #MathBio other than those I usually obsess about #MathOnco #MathEvo

Parmvir K Bahia@parmvir.com · 2y ago

I suppose now is a good time to introduce #BiologyInNumbers, a #SciComm podcast I have the pleasure of directing, producing & hosting. Thought up by then-President Heiko Enderling, it's a means to learn about @smbmathbiology.bsky.social and research from its members and the wider #mathBio community.
