Ludwig @princeton.edu’s @yibinkang.bsky.social and Yong Tang have discovered that tumors reach out across the body and reprogram fat metabolism in the liver to indirectly shield themselves from immune attack—and shown how this might be undermined to enhance immunotherapy. bit.ly/4iyloey #CanSky

Kang @yibinkang.bsky.social Lab research shows cancer is not just a lump of tumor cells in one part of the body, but a complex ecosystem that often involves multi-organ interactions, in ways not suspected before. molbio.princeton.edu/news/2026/ka...

Kang lab: A host gene MTDH linking tumor-liver crosstalk to anti-tumor immunity
Scientists at the Princeton Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have found that a gene previously linked to poor outcomes when expressed at high levels in breast tumor cells can also ac...

Autocrine RA production feeds back on DC function
Fang et al. showed that GM-CSF–IL4, commonly used to differentiate bone marrow cells into DCs in vitro for use in vaccines, induced differentiation of DCs to express ALDH1A2 and produce retinoic acid...

Ludwig Princeton researchers led by Yibin Kang, Cao Fang and Mark Esposito report how a vitamin A derivative—retinoic acid—disrupts anti-cancer immune responses & the efficacy of a cancer vaccine + drug candidates to target both mechanisms for cancer immunotherapy. bit.ly/4sItUdV

Cancer evolves through dynamic exchanges with its environment, harnessing these interactions to grow and adapt. @yibinkang.bsky.social introduces a new collection of articles that explore crosstalk between #cancer and its environment across temporal and spatial scales 🧪 plos.io/4moogJS
The image features a quote from Yibin Kang of Princeton University emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to understanding cancer, displayed alongside the PLOS Biology logo and a photograph of Yibin Kang.

Tumors hijack macrophages for iron supply to promote bone metastasis and anemia
Bone marrow is both a primary site for hematopoiesis and a fertile niche for metastasis. The mechanism of the common occurrence of anemia among patien…

So happy to complete Ironman Lake Placid and be medaled by Princeton alum, current OSU med student, IMLP champ and new course record holder Matthew Marquardt at the finish line after surviving 8000 ft of climb in the 112 mile bike, >1000 ft climb in the marathon and torrential rain.
