Thank you @EKFStiftung for highlighting our recent publication on how MASLD-associated PUFAS impair MAIT cell anti-tumour function as paper of the month 🙏🏻🤩
Katrin Böttcher und ihr Team haben einen Mechanismus entdeckt, der erklärt, warum Erkrankte mit metabolisch-assoziierter steatotischer Lebererkrankung (MASLD) besonders gefährdet sind, an Leberkrebs zu erkranken. 💡 @KBoettcherLab 👉 https://t.co/mSuzFIC5OP

Congrats to @KonstantinKltz & team @KSusztak! We loved seeing this work as a late-breaking highlight at the @ISGDtweets #IPC2025 in Hamburg just two months ago. @HCKH_Hamburg
🚨 Big news from @SusztakLab! Our paper is out in @NatureGenet: "From Million-Cell Atlases to One-Patient Reports" 🧬🧑⚕️Together with biostats wizard @NancyRZhang and physician-scientist trainee @KonstantinKltz, we built a cross-species single-cell kidney atlas and analytics

My whole lab thinks that the last paragraph of a paper's Introduction should report the Results of the study. I don't push back but I disagree. Results are concisely reported in Abstract, then extensively in Results, and then again in Discussion. It's enough!

Welcome to read the comments from Professor Christian Frezza @FrezzaLab and his colleague on this paper. "Macrophage respiratory complex III governs immune evasion" https://t.co/8PeK36eNik
Thrilled to share the work of my PhD,out in @ScienceAdvances!🥳We discovered that complex III regulates IL-10 production in macrophages and its targeting decreases tumor growth in mice🧫Grazie a Luke,LON Lab & collaborators🔬 #immunometabolism #lover👇
