Immunometabolic Gatekeeping: Reconciling Peto's & the T-cell Infiltration Prognostic Paradox
Classical models of cancer focus on tumour-intrinsic genetic aberrations and immune dynamics and often overlook how the metabolic environment of healthy tissues shapes tumour development and immune ef...

More immune cells should mean better outcomes.
Yet in kidney cancer, glioma, uveal melanoma - it doesn’t.

We think tissue metabolism is the missing variable.

Amazing to see our review paper being circulated - thank you Prof. Solé! This paper served as the introduction to my PhD thesis and was intense but fun to write :)
How can we model the emergent complexity of microbial ecosystems? How do you do the maths & predict their dynamics, from the gut & the soil to the biosphere? Here's a great review paper in @natureecoevo.bsky.social. @vmaull.bsky.social @saramitri.bsky.social
