It's that time of the year when students apply to Professors for MSc, PhD or PDF mentorship. Great! Tip: Please remember to state in your email, where you received your undergraduate or graduate degrees, country & year. Be unique. Stand out.

Preprint from marignanilab.com. LKB1 isn't just a tumour suppressor kinase with metabolic function; there's more😁. We used scRNAseq, CRISPR, patient tumours, METABRIC genomics & new mouse model to ask:what is the impact of losing LKB1 expression on breast cancer? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Imagine that. Women need a Bill that ensures women's right to healthcare. If U are 🇨🇦, and an adult, U pay taxes that go towards our social healthcare system. Therefore, all persons in 🇨🇦 are entitled to healthcare equally. Again, all people are entitled to healthcare.

Reviewer#3, when applicant details life threatening disease(s) as reason 4 delayed productivity, you don't have 2 point out "concern 4 lack of productivity, though applicant has had health concerns". This comment is evil. Empathy is a sign of humanity. Do better! #CIHR being back F-2-F reviews.

Really sorry to hear that reviewers are abusing people with diseases. Hiding behind a screen does not take courage. It is cowardice. Bully tactics. Sad commentary on the quality of reviewers. In person review panels hold reviewers accountable. #CIHR being back in person review panels.

LKB1 (STK11) @stk11.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

www.frontiersin.org/journals/cel... Review: "The Tumor Suppressor Kinase LKB1: Metabolic Nexus" LKB1 loss is associated with multiple malignancies and causes metabolic reprograming to increase glycolysis and lactate production, elevate hexosamine biosynthesis and glutamine metabolism.

From "The Tumor Suppressor Kinase LKB1: Metabolic Nexus" by Mohammed Bourouh, Paola A. Marignani.

HIF1α promotes expression of glycolytic enzymes. Schematic representation of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). LKB1 phosphorylates and activates AMPK which then phosphorylates and inhibits RAPTOR, thereby inhibiting mTORC1. mTORC1 promotes HIF1α upregulation. Active HIF1α promotes expression of glycolytic enzymes (red) increasing glycolysis rate. HIF1α also promotes expression of 6PGD to shunt glucose-6-phosphate to the PPP to generate NADPH for REDOX balance and for synthesis of ribose-5-phosphate for nucleotide synthesis.
