👫 'UNDERSTANDING CANCER' 👫 ‏ – an illustrated book to help communicate with kids 🏥 When the unthinkable happens, how do we to talk to children about cancer? As family, how do we explain what’s happening without overpromising, while making it clear that it's not their fault? amazon.com/dp/B0GNRXG7R9

🚨 Avidity of clinical-stage aB7H3 scFv CAR-T's predicts function 🚨 The conclusions took us by surprise, in the opposite direction of canonically held knowledge about CD19- CARs in leukaemia Check out our latest story in @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Functional avidity of anti-B7H3 CAR-T constructs predicts antigen density thresholds for triggering effector function - Nature Communications
CAR-T cells have been found to be less effective as treatment for solid tumours. Here the authors, utilising B7H3 as an antigen, consider how changes in B7H3 binders lead to functional changes of CAR-...

🌟 I’ve written a children’s book about vaccines- probably the greatest ever paediatric health innovation. I struggled to find resources to explain this to my son that were accessible to him, so I wrote my own. Everyone is welcome to our story time! 🔬 You can find the book here: amzn.eu/d/3QNB5Xh.

🚨🔬 Happy to share our review out in Nat Biotech Great collab on Mϕ, γδT and NK cell translational success (and fails) with colleagues from Harvard&Zhejiang. What can we learn from innate immune tx trials, how can we do better and what next for the field? www.nature.com/articles/s41587-025-02629-5
