Super excited to share our newest piece out today @natrevcancer.nature.com linking age-induced metabolic reprogramming to cancer development. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cancer progression through the lens of age-induced metabolic reprogramming - Nature Reviews Cancer

In this Perspective, Lazure and Gomes argue that metabolic changes that occur as a result of ageing may shape tumour initiation and progression and the development of metastatic disease.

So happy to share the newest pre-print from the lab where we show that old age significantly changes the traits that evolve in established lung adenocarcinoma. This work sheds light into the importance of modeling age-related cancers in the context of old age. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Aging directs the differential evolution of KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), the most common histological subtype of lung cancer( [1][1], [2][2] ), is a disease of the elderly, with an average age of diagnosis of about 70 years of age( [3][3] ). Old...

You cannot underestimate all the positive and long-term benefits of having a supportive #mentor

One could argue this is at least as important as the research topic 🧪

Do choose wisely..

Epigenetic scars of Brca1 loss point toward breast cancer cell of origin - Nature Genetics

The two-hit hypothesis suggests that a second mutation is necessary for cancer development in cells with a defective tumor-suppressor gene, such as BRCA1. However, a study now shows that the loss of j...

Mind blowing talk by James DeGregori on viral infection, awakening, and maintenance of metastatic outgrowth. Not good news for those of us that have had multiple Covid-19 infections.
