🚨 New biomarker alert! We discovered a sugar in urine, nLc4, released by bladder tumor cells and potentially enabling non-invasive bladder cancer detection. The study, combining advanced techniques and hundreds of patient samples across Germany, in now online! 📖 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Neolactotetraosylceramide enables urinary detection of bladder cancer

Moreira et al. show that the glycosphingolipid nLc4 is increased in bladder cancer tissue and patients’ urine. nLc4 is selectively expressed in tumor cells and secreted via extracellular vesicles. Its...

Had a fantastic time at the CCC-N Young Cancer Scientist Symposium in Göttingen! Great to meet fellow #cancer researchers from Lower Saxony and exchange ideas. And the cherry on top: I won the Best Talk Award! 🎉

Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! In the last decade, our main fight at the #WomenInSTEM Archive has been against indifference, but now with active organized attempts by the government to efface women scientists, we continue our promise to keep providing a home for these stories.

Monday plot twist: the big ‘first day of kindergarten’ moment… canceled because the entire place is sick. Instead of a milestone photo, we’re embracing a surprise ‘extra days at home’ adventure. Flexibility is the real parenting skill, right? #MondayMotivation #ParentLife #ExpectTheUnexpected

Wrapping up the week with revisions for two manuscripts at once — equal parts exciting and overwhelming! 😬

Glycosylation is often overlooked in cancer research, but it holds great potential for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. From altered glycosylation patterns to tumor-associated glycans, sugars are more than just sweet - they might be the missing link in precision medicine! 🍬🔬 #CancerBiology

Monday mornings: coffee, kids prep, and a quick walk in the forest to clear my head before diving into cancer glycobiology research. Let’s have a great week? 🌳☕️ #PhDLife #WomenInSTEM #MorningRoutine
