The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard

💡 Scientists at @unil found that glutamine synthesis by CAFs promotes the polarization of pro-tumorigenic TAMs and supports tumor growth by altering TAM composition, highlighting the pivotal role of CAFs in shaping the immunosuppressive TME. @JExpMed | bit.ly/4lFVTXt

Foam cells are dysfunctional, lipid-laden macrophages. Data indicate that the events underlying foam cell formation are disease- and microenvironment-specific, opening new avenues for disease-specific biomedical research. Learn more: ow.ly/Ah0k50WlLiQ.

I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13) nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
