Therapies to mimic the metabolic effects of fasting might improve the effectiveness of hormone treatments for breast cancer, according to a study in Nature. The research finds that the metabolites associated with fasting can boost anti-tumour properties involved in some cellular pathways. #medsky 🧪

Fasting boosts breast cancer therapy efficacy via glucocorticoid activation - Nature
Beneficial effects of fasting combined with endocrine therapy for oestrogen receptor-α-expressing breast cancers can be recapitulated using exogenous glucocorticoid receptor ligands instead of fasting to reduce harmful effects.

Ribosomes are just like people. They are diverse, they can dance, collide, and experience stress. During stress, the translation process plays a key role in the development of cancer, a discovery made by PhD candidate Sofia Ramalho ➡️ www.nki.nl/news-events/... @sofiaramalho.bsky.social

New paper from the lab! Want to know if there is a difference in ribosome collisions between your samples? We show that you can detect this in the rRNA reads in your ribosome profiling data. academic.oup.com/nargab/artic...

Detecting ribosome collisions with differential rRNA fragment analysis in ribosome profiling data
Abstract. It has become clear in recent years that ribosomes regularly stall during translation. Such translation impairment has many causes, including exp
