Featured on L'UM La Science podcast, Sophie Tissot, a doctoral candidate from our CANECEV international laboratory, delves into her research exploring the influence of nutrition on the development of cancers (recently published in @SciReports).

New study in @royalsociety investigating how a short term sublethal exposure to a cancer risk factor affects the behaviour of a freshwater planaria and how it recovers from the damages over time.

Close up of a dense mat of #Australian freshwater hydras in a mass culture I maintain in the @CANECEV lab. They are used to study the effects of #cancer on ecosystems. When they reach those densities, the whole space is packed with tentacles looking for preys to feed on.

Does parasite removal increase the risk of cancer in captive mammals, as predicted by the hygiene hypothesis? Our new study in @Ecol_Evol on 112 mammal species found no such evidence. This is good news!

New study on how placentation is linked to #cancer risk in mammals. Placentation can be an invasive process with foetal cells invading maternal tissues, and we think that cancer cells may be able to use pathways responsible for that invasiveness to become more malignant (1/5)

Fun paper to write. I used the Drake equation 📡, created to estimate the number of civilizations in the Milky Way👽to estimate the number of species likely to have transmissible cancers, a form of disease 🦠 that can spread to entire animal populations🌏.

We recently explored if spice consumption by humans evolved as a way to protect them against #cancer. Short answer: it hasn't.
We published the study in Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health:

A thread on how we tested this hypothesis (1/7).
