Have a look at this really nice paper by @cassiejclarke.bsky.social and the team describing the interplay between tumor metabolism and immune and ECM microenvironments!
🧪To the science feed you go... if you like #neutrophil #metabolism #metastasis #UPP1 #Uracil #fibronectin, then you are in for a treat 👇
Delighted to share that our work “Uridine Phosphorylase-1 supports metastasis by altering immune and extracellular matrix landscapes” was published today in @emboreports.org, describing how neutrophil metabolism influences niche priming to support metastasis (1/14) www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Am I back from the best conference ever? Yes! But do I also see a crucial tool for the analysis of the #ECMatrix in scRNAseq? Also yes!! Another fantastic tool in collaboration with @nabalabuic.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥
Perfect timing on the last day of the 2025 #Collagen Gordon Research Conference! Our paper, in collaboration with @valerioizzi.bsky.social describing #MatriCom, a tool to infer ECM communication systems from scRNA-Seq datasets, is now published in @jcellsci.bsky.social!

Had great time in GRC Fibronectin and related molecules (my lab representing the latter 😁) in Tuscany and presented our latest work. Also, new and old friends were found!
