What gives some colorectal cancer cells the ability to metastasize? In our new paper, we find that tumor-intrinsic ceramide synthesis is a metabolic switch for metastatic initiation. 🧵 Free access: science.org/eprint/UAMCP9BAE…

This is very sad. She was an exemplary editor.
We are saddened by the loss of G&D's long-time Editor, Terri Grodzicker.
When Terri stepped down as Editor in 2022, friends and colleagues wrote about her contributions to the research community. We are re-visiting these pieces, and thinking of her.
