EGFR-directed antibodies promote HER2 ADC internalization and efficacy
Gupta et al. demonstrate that high EGFR expression mediates resistance to HER2 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) including trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) by limiting HER2/ADC internalization. The additi...

Looking in the freezer and calculating my eGFR.

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

Excited to share our new paper, now published in Nature Cell Biology! 🎉

We asked a fundamental question in cell biology: How do cells maintain polarity while migrating? Especially how do cancer cells navigate confined spaces?

CD44 restricts EGFR mobility to polarize cytoskeletal signalling modules driving bleb-based migration - Nature Cell Biology
Jha et al. show that the transmembrane protein CD44 restricts EGFR mobility to maintain an EGFR–PI3K–Rac gradient during bleb-based cell migration.

A bit delayed, but excited to still share our latest paper, showing that intercellular forces transduced by E-cadherin activate EGFR-ERK signaling in epithelia by inducing EGFR ligand shedding! Mechanical and biochemical signals can act together within a single, linear cascade! tinyurl.com/mr9mj9j2
E-cadherin mechanotransduction activates EGFR-ERK signaling in epithelial monolayers by inducing ADAM-mediated ligand shedding
Epithelial stretching promotes the release of EGF receptor ligands that stimulate ERK activation.

Amivantamab is a targeted bispecific antibody and works by targeting cancer in three ways. It blocks both EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), a protein that helps tumors grow, and MET, a pathway that cancer cells often use to escape treatment. It also helps activate the immune system to attack

New Toettchlab paper alert!

Harrison Oatman just published his beautiful work combining software design for "smart" microscopy+optogenetics and some really beautiful work understanding EGFR-driven collective cell migration.

But if the Cys eGFR and the eGFR diff provides prognostic information and you have that right there, since you need a cystatin C to get the combined eGFR why not harvest that information. Prognosis is sometimes more important than accurate eGFR #NephJC

Clonal driver neoantigen loss under EGFR TKI and immune selection pressures - Nature
We show the evolution of a case of EGFR mutant lung cancer treated with a combination of erlotinib, osimertinib, radiotherapy and a personalized neopeptide vaccine targeting somatic mutations, including EGFR exon 19 deletion.

An inherited genetic mutation may increase lung cancer risk among people who have never smoked, with carriers of the rare EGFR T790M variant facing roughly 25 times the risk of lung cancer overall and 62 times the risk among never-smokers, according to a new study in Science. https://scim.ag/4yDSuP2
