Yesterday, with a record of 100 students taking the final exam, I said goodbye to the Teaching Physiology Dept at UBA, my academic home for 11 years,from my undergraduate studies to my PhD. I'm grateful to the mentors, colleagues,and students who shaped my journey. Thank you for being a second home.

#ICSAPaperOfTheMonth Breast cancer cells resist chemotherapy by entering a transient senescent state and evading immune detection. Instead of dying, they persist and can later escape senescence to drive relapse. Disrupting this cycle could lead to new treatment strategies.

Our latest paper on the transcriptional repression of SOX2 by p53 in cancer has been published online. You can read it here: doi.org/10.1002/ijc....

Transcriptional repression of SOX2 by p53 in cancer cells regulates cell identity and migration

SOX2 is one of the key developmental genes with a reported altered expression in many tumors. The mechanisms underlying SOX2 regulation in cancer, however, remain elusive. This study shows that TP53 ....

As a tribute to Héctor Oesterheld’s The Eternaut, a massive mobilization of scientists marched to protest Milei’s defunding of Argentinian science.
Dismantling a scientific system is quick and easy, rebuilding what has been lost is painfully slow and difficult👇
