What happens when unexpected happens!? 1) @johannalilja_ @IvaskaLab #JasminKaivola identified SHANK3 as a KRAS inhibitor 2) predicted SHANK3 depletion boosts KRASmut tumors 3) observed SHANK3 depletion kills KRAS-cells by ERK hyperactivation, apoptosis rdcu.be/dTQDP

Really looking forward to this meeting organised by stellar @TheCrick post-docs. Places are still available for posters and short talks, so do come along to hear and discuss the latest findings in cancer research.
Last call for abstract submission (deadline 6th September).
Join us for this exciting #symposium @TheCrick on the new advances in #CancerResearch.
We will host great #science and nurture one to one #networking.

So, it turns out that we now can do Western blot from single cells. Cool !
At least it worked for them in #cancer cells.

Unexpected and slightly overwhelming news from @uclmedsci.
I am extremely grateful to @CRUKresearch for their constant support and most importantly the incredible scientists @uclcancer past and present who made this happen. A privilege to stand on the shoulders of giants.

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
