The @AnastasiouLab is happy to share our latest paper, led by the outstanding @fiona_grimm, where we explore the metabolic pathways that allow cancer cells to survive during the first few hours in #hypoxia.

When #AlphaFold2 came out, we wondered: Could it help us understand how enzymes evolve? So we tried it—and it worked! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Today's @NobelPrize for John Hopfield recognizes only one of his contributions - he's a true polymath. I strongly recommend his solo author PNAS papers (i) long-range e- tunneling in proteins (1974), (ii) kinetic proof-reading (1974), (iii) Hopfield nets (1982). Each is a gem!

The phrase ‘metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths’ is one of the most widely used in cancer research, yet it is overly simplistic & imprecise. Here we dig deeper into the events leading to cancer mortality

In our latest pre-print @yifanrobinzhao, @gavinpaulkelly and @gantasperez reveal that mild hypoxia is a physiological consequence of growth in Drosophila imaginal discs.

Researchers at the Crick, working with @UCL and @ImperialCollegeLon, have discovered a new biological pathway that drives inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can be targeted using existing drugs.

This is a blatant misrepresentation of our work science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…. Our study does not in any way suggest that the application of SPF50 sunscreen “blocks our natural defences” or is detrimental to health.
13 May 2024
Vitamin D regulates cancer immunity via microbiome- another reason to stop using SPF 50 all year round which blocks our natural defences science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Community note
The linked study is a pre-clinical study based on mice alone. The suggestion that this means humans can reduce SPF use is not evidence-based, and should be read with caution.

Presenting metabolomics analyses: what is in a number? embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…
@JohannesMeiser and I wrote this short piece to raise awareness about how present metabolomics data. We hope you will find it useful. Any comment is welcome! thanks @DanielKlimmeck for the support!

The proof just arrived this evening at my door. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality. The print version will be available in a few days at the royalty-free price (Amazon).
Still, feel free to download it in its entirety at
masspec.scripps.edu/about/ma…
or

Tens of thousands of papers/books on #masspec or #metabolomics, now a book with “Metabolomics" AND "Mass Spectrometry"
You can freely download the book at
masspec.scripps.edu/about/ma…
and doi.org/10.63025/LCUW3037
A hardcopy will be available in the coming days. Thoughts welcome

UMAP dimensionality reduction was designed to help visualize relationships in high-dimensional data. But, most users don’t know how it works, and therefore can’t usefully interpret the graphs.
This is a great UMAP description, with interactive sliders! pair-code.github.io/understa…
