#obesity is a major risk factor for #cancer. We are happy to share our latest study with Frédérik Fournier, Ph.D., Sergio Crespo-Garcia, Ph.D. and members of the lab where we link body adiposity to high burden of senescent cells… https://t.co/aUnMajYAD2

A great study—one of the best current studies to tease out critical ontogeny and functional characteristics of TAMs. And hands down the best intratumoral mac imaging I’ve seen in a long long time, demonstrating spatial niches . Congrats Marie and Alex!
Very excited to share my PhD work from @BoissonnasLab, out today ! We studied macrophage heterogenity in breast cancer depending on their spatial distribution. A big thanks to all the co-author and especially a great collaboration with @MaxKrummel and @alexis_combes
