Researchers have discovered a contagious cancer in catfish – just the fourth example of tumour cells that spread naturally from one animal to another go.nature.com/4fsoLR3

Rare contagious cancer discovered in wild catfish

Transmissible tumours have been found in only a few types of animal, but there might be many more out there.

Tribuna con @xrbustelo.bsky.social, @jaestebancbm.bsky.social, JM Torralba y J Gil sobre la resolución provisional de los proyectos PID (“Plan Nacional”), con media de 50.000 euros/proyecto/año (costes directos). Hay otras convocatorias, pero esta es básica e insuficiente elpais.com/ciencia/2026...

¿Qué ciencia puede realizarse con 50.000 euros al año?

“Esta limitación presupuestaria dificulta afrontar los experimentos complejos que hoy exige buena parte de la investigación en múltiples campos”, denuncian los autores

Aneuploidy selects for the acquisition of driver genes in breast cancer - Nature

Screening of chromosome arm-level aneuploidies uncovers that these alterations select for specific basal-like breast cancer driver genes, including PLGRKT, an oncogene whose tumour-promoting activity ...

New research from MSK, published in @nature.com, shows how lung cells with cancer-causing mutations recruit surrounding healthy tissue to support tumor formation. Changes to the tumor microenvironment begin early and help drive growth and progression. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3QyDfGw

Concurrent L1 retrotransposition events promote reciprocal translocations in human tumorigenesis

LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposition generates somatic genomic variation in human cancer, but short-read sequencing has limited our understanding of its structural consequences and dynamics. Using long-read...

Nature research paper: Ongoing genome doubling shapes evolvability and immunity in ovarian cancer go.nature.com/40qLLcJ

Ongoing genome doubling shapes evolvability and immunity in ovarian cancer - Nature

A single-cell sequencing study using more than 30,000 tumour genomes from human ovarian cancers shows that whole-genome doubling is an ongoing mutational process that drives tumour evolution and disrupts immunity.

Great discussion at the #EACR2025. Thanks to everyone who came to my poster yesterday for the feedback! @valcomaills.bsky.social @unisevilla.bsky.social

So much fun at Lisbon for the #eacr2025! Former and current investigators from @unisevilla.bsky.social 💃🏻👩🏻‍🔬 @helloeacr.bsky.social @livialopez.bsky.social and Sonia Silva from I3S.

Andy Moore @hhmijanelia.bsky.social created this video showing a cytoskeletal mechanism called an actin wave in a so-called HeLa cell. In orange are the actin filaments and in blue are the mitochondria, some of which appear to move with or be shifted by the active wave.

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This study found that RNA vaccines can induce an immune response in patients with pancreatic cancer https://go.nature.com/4hI3XVL

Bespoke vaccines can elicit long-lived immune activity against pancreatic cancer

T cells induced by personalized pancreatic-cancer vaccines last for years.
