The next big cancer boom is oropharyngeal in men. HPV is already endemic, vaccines are gender-late, and there’s zero screening for half the population. While you meme about “throat goat” culture, oncologists are quietly booking 40-year-olds for tonsillectomies. onlinelibrary.wiley....

A very different publication from the group! Here, we look at the potential impact of HPV in Men. Exceptional work from Keesha Coker, who did this as her undergraduate thesis project at @biochembiomeduos.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Excited to report our latest research on new “molecular glues” that specifically lock the BRCC36 isopeptidase complex (BRISC) in an autoinhibited state and reduce interferon signalling. This first-of-its-kind approach could reshape how we target large deubiquitylase (DUB) complexes. rdcu.be/edRwF
