An new collaboration between the Fischer-Friedrich group at PoL @fischerfriedriclab.bsky.social, Anke Fuchs lab at the CRTD @crtd-tud.bsky.social and colleagues highlights that mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) may help tumors survive in new environments by avoiding attacks from immune cells!

Fischer-Friedrich Lab @fischerfriedriclab.bsky.social · Aug 3

Why do secondary #tumors go for #MET during the metastatic cascade? Our new study suggests that immune evasion—rather than faster proliferation—might give them the edge.

Mesenchymal-epithelial transition reduces proliferation but increases immune evasion in tumor spheroids

How important is #epigenetics for human brain?

Researchers led by @mareikealbert.bsky.social used brain organoids 🧠 🧫 and Epi-CyTOF to show that histone methylation controls how brain cells multiply and how big the organoid grows.
