Congrats Monica, Judith and team! We were so glad to contribute to this work, which has wide-reaching implications for how we treat cancers. Looking forward to continuing the collaboration and overcoming this resistance.
Metastasis kills most cancer patients and grows from invisible seeds. How do these seeds escape from attack by immune cells? These seeds harness stress hormones!🤯 ⁦thanks to ⁦@nyscf⁩ ⁦@parkerici⁩ for their support. Today at ⁦@Naturenature.com/articles/s41586-0…

My daughter is in an MSTP program, so I hear about the challenges firsthand: the long hours, the uncertainty, the pressure. To all our early career scientists, I want you to know that what you're doing matters. Your perseverance today becomes tomorrow's treatments. Keep going.

We had the zest time at tonight's #LemonBall!💛🍋💃 To everyone who attended, we cannot thank you enough for making this Lemon Ball extra sweet. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for kids with cancer. Special thanks to our outstanding presenting sponsors ALDI USA, Applebee's Neighborhood Grill Bar, Northwestern Mutual and Volvo Car USA, and all the Lemon Ball sponsors, benefactors, supporters, volunteers and friends who made this night possible. Let's keep making progress for children with cancer all year long!🎉

The 2025 Young Investigator Summit brought childhood cancer researchers together to discuss the future of their work in a changing landscape. These Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation-funded scientists receive YI Grants early in their careers, a critical time to establish research projects that will hopefully lead to more cures for kids in the long term. Thanks to all researchers and staff who attended and to @NM_Financial for sponsoring this year's YI Summit!

Herculean effort from @deadoc80 and team to COMPREHENSIVELY review how #caspases promote or suppress inflammatory signaling. Recent discoveries show that caspase signaling, and ultimately organismal responses, are nuanced and context-dependent. #apoptosis #inflammation
Here comes our latest @NatRevMCB review on the control of #inflammation by #apoptosis, #pyroptosis and #caspases! Kudos to @RuthSAnyc and @Mbv26 for the heavy lifting! Not possible w/o input from @CellDeathLab and Doug Green!! @FoxChaseCancer @HarvardChanSPH @StJude
