So happy to see our work @Kesharilab with @justinperryphd.bsky.social published, where we show a metabolic symbiosis between macrophages and TNBC cells! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Macrophage-supported metabolic adaptation drives tumor survival under nutrient stress
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) develops in hypoxic, nutrient-limited tumors enriched with macrophages and cell death. We show that metabolically distinct TNBCs differentially exploit macrophage-...

Late to post, but so greatful to have presented my talk on prostate cancer metabolism at the @ismrm.bsky.social workshop on Metabolomics and Metabolomic Imaging in Medicine in Padua, Italy! And to be awarded Top Abstract!

Incredibly proud of our latest publication in @molsystbiol.org led by @nancyts.bsky.social in collab w/ Jean Yang and Lake-Ee Quek - www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... We curated targeted metabolomic data into pathway-centric ratios and identified subclusters of cancer cells with distinct features.

Had a great time sharing our work on macrophage TNBC symbiosis at the NYAS Cancer and Metabolism symposium!

In @cp-cancercell.bsky.social, Schild et al. @mskcancercenter.bsky.social engineered T cells & CAR T cells to express the fructose-specific transporter GLUT5, improving T cell glycolytic flux & thus effector function in glucose-limited conditions. 📖 the #researchhighlight 👇

Sweet success in CAR T cells - Nature Reviews Cancer
Glycolysis-dependent T cell function is hindered by glucose scarcity in the tumour microenvironment. Now in Cancer Cell, Schild et al. engineered T cells to utilize fructose via GLUT5, enhancing their metabolic activity and cytotoxicity.
