Congratulations to team CANCAN on their feature in @nature.com, recognising their work to advance our understanding of cancer cachexia. Read the full article to hear from: @marcusgon.bsky.social, @jamal-hanjani-lab.bsky.social, Tobias Janowitz and Ed Reznik: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New hope in the fight against cachexia — cancer’s deadly co-conspirator

Scientists are getting closer to understanding the wasting and fatigue that often accompanies cancer. Treatments could be on the horizon.

@jamal-hanjani-lab.bsky.social from @ucl.ac.uk closed the conference with a fantastic talk on lung cancer metastasis, taking us from the perspective of the cancer cell, through to its microenvironment, the organ, the whole body and the whole patient.

A new study from team OPTIMISTICC, published in @cellpress.bsky.social, shows that tumour-resident microbes are largely confined to cancers of the orodigestive tract. Together with team PROSPECT, they have generated a new resource and analytic pipeline. 👇 cancergrandchallenges.org/news/are-mic...

If you missed our Special Session at the #AACR Annual Meeting, you can still catch the key insights in the latest edition of Discover 👇 Take a closer look at the science with Allan Balmain and Mike Stratton: features.cancergrandchallenges.org/impact/

Such an honour to be included in this incredible special issue! We discuss how to support global team science and catalyse transformative discovery, drawing on our experience from @cancergrand.bsky.social "Just imagine what could be achieved in a system designed for true collaboration."

Hallmarks of cancer research: Enabling transformative discovery through global team science

Since the original Hallmarks of Cancer, our understanding of the complexity of the disease has expanded dramatically. Researching cancer is no longer …

Move over AlphaFold3. Boltz-2 has arrived, bringing affinity prediction for protein-small molecule interactions! Can’t wait to see what this group does next. Congrats to all @gcorso.bsky.social Was a pleasure writing this: www.cancergrandchallenges.org/news/boltz-2...

Boltz-2: democratising the future of drug design

Open source structure prediction with binding affinity

cancergrandchallenges.org

Excited to unveil Boltz-2, our new model capable not only of predicting structures but also binding affinities! Boltz-2 is the first AI model to approach the performance of FEP simulations while being more than 1000x faster! All open-sourced under MIT license! A thread… 🤗🚀

Come and join us! We’re hiring a new Group Leader in Generative Biology at the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social Building AI models or the data to train them? Core funding of >$130M a year for a faculty of ~30. www.nature.com/naturecareer... acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:... pls RT!
