Basal cell of origin resolves neuroendocrine–tuft lineage plasticity in cancer
Nature - Basal cells, rather than neuroendocrine cells, have been identified as the probable origin of small cell lung cancer and other neuroendocrine–tuft cancers, explaining...
rdcu.be
Super pleased to announce our latest suggesting the cell of origin for #SCLC is most likely the basal cell @nature.com, not the accepted neuroendocrine cell. Implications for the earliest events in cancer, & providing new models of tuft-like cancer.

I thought surely this hadn’t happened. Nope. It is. We are eating our own vomit stage of America.
AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Congrats to Kate and Hari for a very nice story and wonderful collaboration!
TMPRSS11B is a target of KLF4 and part of a chemo-refractory hillock-like state we see in squamous lung cancer. This gene contributes to acidified TME.
More coming on the hillock state after addressing FIVE reviewers!

I am pleased to present a new paper from my lab led by Hari Shankar Sunil showing that the transmembrane serine protease TMPRSS11B promotes an acidified tumor microenvironment and immune suppression in squamous lung cancer, OUT NOW in EMBO Reports👇:

I think it’s hard to ignore the evidence. He was just lucky.
If you are a genius, and your greatest achievement is at age 25, and nobody can name a dang thing you did after that, for 72 yrs, I think maybe you just hung out with the right woman at the right time, and maybe you were just a jerk. 🤷🏻♀️

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I think it would be fascinating to study the (oh, 70 million+) Americans who will do constant mental gymnastics just to maintain their beliefs despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Humans can think rationally and weigh the evidence
Whether other animals can also do this has been unclear
Chimpanzees rationally revise their beliefs 🏺🧪

Results suggest this pattern of belief revision was guided by explicit representation and weighing of evidence

I’m so sorry I’m laughing inside. From what I see in America, HUMANS don’t even rationally revise their beliefs. 🤣🤣🤣
