Two of the most important biomedical breakthroughs came from science of the Gila lizard venom (GLP-1s) and yogurt (CRISPR genome editing).
"The system that turned that lizard into a medicine is now being dismantled."

What can a 200-year-old whale teach us about cancer? 🐋🤔

Bowhead whales are among the longest-lived mammals on Earth, but they rarely get cancer

In a new commentary in Molecular Oncology, @ipaniaguacabana.bsky.social and I discuss a landmark study by Firsanov et al that begins to unravel why.. 🧪🧬🧊

Understanding why cancers relapse - sometimes years or decades after successful treatment - is a major challenge in the cancer field

This perspective in Nature discusses several of the important recent advances and new studies in the field of tumor dormancy 🧪⚕️

Why cancer can come back years later — and how to stop it
Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.
