New work from the department! In this work, Magali and team characterized the presence sialic acid-containing glycans in the widely-used B16OVA melanoma model and the expression of Siglec-E, an immunosuppressive receptor able to bind to sialic acid. academic.oup.com/glycob/artic...

Our lab is hiring a PhD student to investigate how glycans affect antitumor immune responses in metastases and how this can be modulated to improve immunotherapy! More info here 👇 #glycotime werkenbij.amsterdamumc.org/en/vacatures...

Vacatures - PhD tumor immunology of peritoneal metastasis - Amsterdam UMC
Colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases has a particularly poor prognosis. In this KWF-funded project, you will investigate how glycan structures affect immune responses in peritoneal metastasis and whether glycan inhibition can restore anti-tumor immunity.

Congratulations to MCBI postdoc Sofia Ibáñez-Molero (and co-authors) for publishing in @nature.com her cluster method developed during her PhD at @nkinl.bsky.social in @peeperlab.bsky.social. By always excluding doublets in glow cytometry you might exclude some gems.. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tumour-reactive heterotypic CD8 T cell clusters from clinical samples - Nature
Tumour-reactive CD8+ T cells are enriched in functional clusters with tumour cells and/or antigen-presenting cells and can be isolated and expanded from clinical samples.

On the 1st day of the @cancercenterams.bsky.social annual conference Lotte De Winde presented her recently published data on the development of lymphoma-on-a-chip model to study the role of fibroblasts in this pathology! You can find the publication here doi.org/10.1016/j.mt...

Today marks the 44th anniversary of the publication in the MMWR of a new syndrome that we now know as AIDS www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview... (MMWR 1981;30:250--2). Much progress since then but much remains to be done.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️ So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality? We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary #WomeninSTEM www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... 🧵 1/
