Thanks Charley!! Take care though, platelet and meg biology is a fascinating world and once you start thinking about them it’s hard to stop…don’t get too distracted from those T cells!

The "humble" blood cells that could expose cancer's secrets - Cancer Research UK - Cancer News
Our scientists have discovered that platelets are swelling with information which could help us detect cancers earlier.

Thrilled that our paper is in print @science.org!! *Platelets sequester cell free DNA, including free fetal and tumour-derived DNA* Tweetorial from @l-cmurphy.bsky.social below. Check out the news feature science.org/content/arti... and terrific editorial from Dennis Lo #platelets_in_the_limelight

By sucking up DNA, clot-producing platelets could help diagnose cancer
The cells could be a new source of tumor DNA for liquid biopsies

Rare Disease Day is coming up this Friday (28th Feb) 🧪 We spoke with Sarah Gooding, a clinician scientist in @rosschapmanlab.bsky.social's group at the MRC WIMM researching multiple myeloma - a currently incurable type of bone marrow cancer that desperately requires friendlier therapies.
