Crazy—we took a quick look at our platform data to see if it supported how it "feels" out there. 2024 is on trend for the lowest programs against "new drug targets" in ~30 years. This kind of risk aversion very bad for future patients, especially with so much strong new omics-driven evidence and broadly rising drugability.

Epithelial extrusions in asthma
After ~12 years of hard labor, lots of push back and excitement, we are pleased to present our paper showing a new mechanism for the many features of asthma that came out in Science today with an awesome review by Jeffrey Drazen and Jeffrey Fredberg.science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Interesting foray into the vast open field of macrophage mechanobiology

#Swimming! @RMedzhitov @MattMeiz @YoshitakaKimur4 &co show @ScienceAdvances that macrophages swim in 3D tissues, sensing stiffness to surveil repair via their cytoskeleton, that is changed also by CSF1, epigenetically regulating macrophage repair functions science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

We found that chronic stress increases metastasis in mice. The neutrophils are at the helm (again!). Link to our report in @Cancer_Cell: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ieO0…

Chronic stress increases cancer metastasis risk – but how? CSHL Cancer Center researchers may have the answer! #CancerResearch cshl.edu/chronic-stress-spre…

Our paper on the cover of @ScienceTM! What's more, it features my photograph of a cobra from our beautiful @iiscbangalore This is a collab with Jardine lab at @scrippsresearch, @CSRIatLSTM, et al. Takes us 1 step closer to Universal antivenom for treating snakebite @LabVenomics
This week's new issue of Science Translational Medicine has arrived! A synthetic antibody against deadly snake venoms takes a step toward a "universal" antivenom, a novel antibacterial compound suppresses a dangerous cousin of M. tuberculosis, and more. scim.ag/5Xl
