Organoids in a dish are next to one another. Treatment stops some of them from growing but their neighbours just keep going. What’s the difference? Hint: it’s not genetic

Blue skies and sunshine for this week’s #EACR2025 meeting in Lisbon. Exciting to bump into fellow EACR/AZ awardees and chat PI3K signalling. Looking forward to sessions on metastasis, plasticity and RNA biology today.

This is an image of a mouse's cancerous cells, taken with a special confocal #microscopy technique that allows us to see cells inside live organisms 🧪🔬
A flurry of tiny, bright orange-red blobs with groups of wispy white lines scattered throughout.

So I did a bit of a search around and these are the past and present Francis Crick Institute folks that I could find.

I can't guarantee they're talking about science, but if they are, you know it's going to be cool science 😉
