Thrilled to share our new study showing that lipids drive immune dysfunction in ovarian cancer — and that blocking lipid uptake through SR-B1 can prevent it! @lydialynch.bsky.social @tcddublin.bsky.social

Our paper @sciimmunology.bsky.social shows certain lipids are responsible for the immunosupression of ascites & propose blocking lipid uptake thru SCARB1 may help immunotherapy in ovarian cancer. Wonderful to collaborate with Donal Brennan, Marcia Haigis & super postdoc @karen--s.bsky.social

I'm delighted to share a new story from our lab published today at @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social! In it, we describe how cellular therapies for cancer can be metabolically and epigenetically enhanced by redirecting how glucose is utilized during in vitro expansion. 1/ www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Redirecting glucose flux during in vitro expansion generates epigenetically and metabolically superior T cells for cancer immunotherapy
T cell therapies for cancer currently rely on extensive in vitro expansion in hypermetabolic conditions. Frisch et al. demonstrate that T cells grown in vitro perform extensive aerobic glycolysis. Rer...

Mitochondria consist of networks of cylindrical tubes, right? Not necessarily! - in our new preprint, @gavsturm.bsky.social investigates how mitochondria transiently adopt a beads-on-a-string morphology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new commentary on this interesting study by @justinaguerrero.bsky.social and team on Glut1 overexpressing CAR T cells. Excited to see what comes next for these metabolically enhanced T cells! @davidfinlaytcd.bsky.social

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55
