🤩My new #naturecover for @maxreichertmd.bsky.social and @arispapargyriou.bsky.social who developed a new 3D culture system called “branched” organoids.

They’re called #branched because they grow outward in tree-like shapes with multiple “branches” mimicking the tumour growth in adenocarcinoma.

June, a reminder of the importance of visibility, inclusion, solidarity. Let's uplift each other + stand up for equity—not just in words, but in action! The Meshwork will always celebrate LGBTQ+ voices. Have a story/lab initiative/scientist to spotlight? We’d love to hear/share!

Did you know cancer cells can be electrically active, just like neurons? This electrical activity plays a key role in tumor progression. Excited to share my first postdoc paper at @crick.ac.uk (and first paper from Leanne Li lab), published in @natureportfolio.nature.com!

Electrical excitability in neuroendocrine SCLC cells promotes tumour progression through action potential firing, increasing ATP demand and oxidative phosphorylation dependency, whereas non-neuroendoc...

Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:
