🎉My project #Bivalve2bivalve has been awarded a 2M € ERC Starting Grant! 🧬 Over 5 years, we’ll investigate at @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social from @maxplanck.de how host immunity, microbiome & environment determine whether transmissible cancers can survive and spread between cockles. 🌊

How does the immune system avoid overreacting? Regulatory T cells help maintain immune balance while preserving protection. For Day of Immunology, we’re spotlighting these remarkable cells in a new video. More details in the video description: lnkd.in/dv9B2qfH

Our todays keynote speaker was Alicia L. Bruzos. She gave an inspiring talk about contagious cancer in different bivalve species. 🐚This unique type of cancer represent an interesting oppurtunity to explore the nature and evolution of cancer. We would like to thank @bruzos.bsky.social for the talk!☺️

Big new comparative oncology paper! Zachary Compton and a large multi-institutional team analysed 16,049 necropsy records for 292 species spanning three clades of tetrapods to identify species with exceptionally high or low cancer prevalence. Free to read at doi.org/10.1158/2159...
