Injectable fluorescent retro-tracing of pancreatic cancer innervation. Denervation sensitizes PDAC to immunotherapy by counteracting neuronal suppression of acute inflammation in CAFs. Plus, tumor denervation as a novel mechanism behind the old nab-paclitaxel combo. Quite a characterization indeed!

IMO, nonscientists consume science through proxies. When unbiased, education suffices. But for biased/malicious communication -e.g., crazy YouTube videos treated like peer-reviewed papers- preprints are a solution, not a problem. For one, that’s why we’re here & not on X…

Why can a human tolerate a drug that globally inhibits transcription? Why do transcription inhibitors not cure cancer? Our first paper of 2025 may help explain (some) of this! So incredibly proud of @tobiaswilliams.bsky.social & Ewa Michalak who led the work! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
cell.com
mRNA export factors store nascent transcripts within nuclear speckles as an adaptive response to transient global inhibition of transcription
Transcription inhibitors also disrupt nuclear export. Here, Williams et al. reveal that mRNA export factors sense transcription inhibition and adapt by storing mature export-competent mRNA in nuclear speckles. This enables rapid release when transcription resumes and ensures retention of cellular identity and viability during a transient global transcription insult.

End-of-the-year preprint & first 🧵 where the sky is blue! Ever wondered how a cancer driven by a single mutant oncogene becomes molecularly & cellularly heterogeneous? Why metastases share drivers w/primary tumors but are more aggressive?
