Attention #Medsky! We’re slowly rolling out the new .medsky.social handle.

Like the labeler this is another way to show your colleagues you’re a part of the Medsky network, and what’s great is you don’t have to be subscribed to the labeler for people to see it!

Excellent article! 👏 @kellylloyd.bsky.social @imp-sci-saraha.bsky.social

Although UK centric, this 👉"Lack of knowledge among healthcare professionals on Lynch syndrome is a barrier to patients accessing preventive care," is an issue in most healthcare systems?

Exciting new development! It represents a potential new approach to cancer prevention in individuals with #LynchSyndrome.

#HereditaryGICancer
NOUS-209 is a potential preventive vaccine for people with Lynch syndrome—training the immune system to stop cancer before it starts. Phase Ib/II results show it's safe and triggers a strong immune response. A hopeful step forward. #AACR25
