KSMetastasis25 has started - in a beautiful conference room - with a spectacular keynote by @batllelab.bsky.social on cancer cell plasticity and immune evasion at the metastatic site.

Jonathan Rennhack presented on how CCL2 regulates metastasis in colorectal cancer by changing transcription factor dynamics in the cancer cells.

Sergei Grivennikov presented on microbiota-induced interleukins and how they influence hepatocytes and immune cells to promote colon cancer metastasis (- and NETs made a very brief appearance).

Pericytes can induce quiescence of aggressive cancer cells. Using a phospholipid stain, Meera Murgai show that transfer of phospholipids activates calcium signaling in cancer cells.

Great talk by @morgan-fox.bsky.social representing the Cittelly Lab at the joint session of #KSMetastasis25 and #KSCancerNeuroscience25
Graduate student Morgan Fox gave a very nice talk on how the non-canonical activation of FGFR1 drives brain metastasis of ER+ breast cancer in aged mice (or “non-young” as Devon Lawson diplomatically put it for those of us over 40!)

Thrilled to present at the joint session of #ksmetastasis25 and #kscancerneuroscience25! Huge thanks to everyone who came out to hear about our lab's work!
@venkatesh-lab.bsky.social presented data on neuronal activity affecting small cell lung cancer initiation/growth and establishment in the brain (preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...)

Daniela Quail presented exciting data (labeled do not post) linking diet, obesity, microbiota - and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors.

The pioneer in thinking about cancer a systemic disease - David Lyden - showed us how extracellular vesicles can drive not just metastasis but also altered lipid metabolism in the liver and clotting in cancer.

The views are as as spectacular as the science. The sun is setting over Banff as we are about to start the last session of #KSMetastasis25.

Postdoc Alexandra Newman from Kathryn Moore’s lab at NYU gave a thought provoking talk on how myocardial infection - by affecting myeloid cells - can drive metastasis.

Ski break at #KSMetastasis25 this afternoon was 10 miles at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Trails were amazing and the snow was so cold it was squeaking under my poles! Pretty wild skiing the 1988 Olympic course.

Erica Sloan discussed how some cancer treatments - doxorubicin and radiation - stimulate sympathetic signaling to promote metastasis; explaining why women also treated with beta-blockers for high-blood pressure have much lower odds of metastatic relapse.

About to give the Keynote Lecture at the The #KSMetastasis25 @KeystoneSymp on Tumor Microenvironment: Metastasis and the Host. The location at Banff is impressive.
Thank you Manuel Valiente and Julio Aguirre-Ghiso for the invitation!

Jean-Christophe Marine presented elegant work on niches (perivascular - hypoxic - invading front) in primary tumors that endow cancer cells with the ability to metastasis.

First speaker in the joint session between #KSMetastasis25 and #KSNeuroCancer25: Devon Lawson presented on commonalities in multiorgan metastasis, including to the brain. Using niche labeling and scRNAseq they found a common signaling interaction between cancer cells and macrophages.

@danielheller.bsky.social presented exciting data using a nano-particle formulation to get a drug against medullablastoma across the blood-brain barrier - where it needs to go - and away from cells in the growth plates where it can have devastating effects.

Exciting presentation by co-organizer Manuel Valiente: through heroic efforts, his lab has established models to study the major clinical problems of local relapse of surgical excised brain metastasis and neurocognitive effects of brain masses.

Ronit Satchi-Fainar presented on using 4DCanPredict platform to identify p-selectin as a critical target in brain cancer - leading to clinical trial NCT05909618.

Rounding out the first Spot light session MD/PHD student Matthew Eason presents on old favorites of mine, matrix metalloproteinases, and a molecule I didn’t know: obscurin.

Jelani Zarif starts the #KSMetastasis25 spotlight session with late-breaking abstract. He achieved the reprogramming of macrophages from tumor promoting to tumor inhibiting by targeting their metabolism.

Postdoc Anna Adam Artigues presented very intruding data showing that peripheral sympathetic Nerve damage stimulate the metastatic outgrowth of cancer cells that have disseminated to the brain.
