Cancer organoids 2.0: modelling the complexity of the tumour immune microenvironment - Nature Reviews Cancer
In this Review, Polak, Zhang and Kuo discuss the currently available and rapidly evolving 3D tumour organoid models that capture the tumour immune microenvironment. They highlight opportunities for organoid-based investigations of tumour immunity, drug development and precision medicine.

So important to mention this when talking to politicians or the public: $2.64 of economic activity for every $1 of NIH research funding!

First post on Bluesky- new preprint! We show that lactate drives NTP synthesis via lactylation of the nucleoside diphosphate kinase NME1 in pediatric gliomas. Deuterium metabolic imaging of lactate production interrogates tumor growth and therapy response in vivo. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Lactylation fuels nucleotide biosynthesis and facilitates deuterium metabolic imaging of tumor proliferation in H3K27M-mutant gliomas
Oncogenes hyperactive lactate production, but the mechanisms by which lactate facilitates tumor growth are unclear. Here, we demonstrate that lactate is essential for nucleotide biosynthesis in pediat...
