A nice follow-up to our recent @nature.com paper (@barbmarte.bsky.social). Nature has published a News & Views piece discussing the work: “The secret life of a cell-cycle gatekeeper of cancer.” Very proud of the team. Interested to hear where these concepts go next. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The secret life of a cell-cycle gatekeeper of breast cancer

A newly discovered function for the protein Rb explains why inhibiting cell division can enhance the signalling mediated by the oestrogen receptor that drives breast cancer.

CDK4/6 inhibitors, a cornerstone treatment for advanced HR+ breast cancer, were thought to work by reactivating Rb, a tumor suppressor that puts the brakes on cancer cell growth. In @nature.com, ASPIRE Awardee @shomgoel.bsky.social shows that isn’t the full story. www.petermac.org/about-us/new...

Peter Mac researchers from @shomgoel.bsky.social's lab have uncovered why breast cancer treatment stops working for some patients. Published in Nature, the discovery could help develop new treatment combinations that work for longer and improve outcomes. More: www.petermac.org/about-us/new...

A very fast moving area: we now have more post-CDK4/6 options than clear biological principles for choosing among them. Looking forward to discussing this at #SABCS25 @sabcs.bsky.social @elmayermd.bsky.social
