Interesting study by @reisesousalab.bsky.social, highlighting functionally distinct states of activated cDC1s in tumors. 🔬🧪

„Anyone who has studied science under the Nazis, as I did for my book Serving the Reich, cannot fail to be dismayed and alarmed at the parallels in the response so far of scientific institutions and academies to the purges and abuses of power following Trump’s executive orders“ 🧪

Scientific institutions have a long history of anticipatory obedience

Societies should learn from this and speak up to support inclusion

🧪 elegant study using rabies-based retrograde tracing to map and manipulate GBM-neuron networks. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Characterizing and targeting glioblastoma neuron-tumor networks with retrograde tracing

Rapid integration of glioblastoma into neuronal circuits promotes glioblastoma invasion and growth, as shown by rabies-based retrograde tracing. Targeting of neuron-tumor networks with pharmacological or rabies-mediated disconnection offers therapeutic potential.
