Happy to share our latest work on #immune cells, #cancer, and #trauma mortality across mammals. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Thanks to colleagues from @uarizona.bsky.social, @utah.edu, @NCSU, Peel Therapeutics, North Carolina Zoo, @UCSB, and @ASU.
Immune-cancer analyses across mammals reveal a potential trophic level and platelet-linked tradeoff between cancer and trauma mortality
There may be fitness tradeoffs between wound healing, immune responses, and cancer development due to shared pathways, limited resources and conflicting selective pressures. The immune system is impor...
