New paper out from the @kpietraslab.bsky.social lab. I am happy to share that my first-author paper is now published. We map the spatial and temporal dynamics of cancer-associated fibroblasts in breast cancer using integrated spatial proteomics and transcriptomics. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

At the Brain Tumor Microenvironment Symposium @institutducerveau.bsky.social, Sebastian Braun presented our comprehensive study of pericytes in GBM 🤩. Pericytes act as guardians of the peri-vascular niche to prevent malignant cell invasion, read more at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
