Where do cancers start? In the liver, not all cells are the same. The liver is divided into 3 β€œzones,” and each specializes in different metabolic tasks. We show in @Science that where a mutation occurs in a liver lobule can determine a cell’s fate. https://t.co/3YTc77gZcd (1/9)

Great story by White lab member @CararoLopes @RutgersCancer @LudwigCancer @Princeton showing that mitochondrial respiration enables serine synthesis for the growth of lung cancer! Defective mitos cause dependence on dietary serine for tumor growth! https://t.co/KiYzTMGIib

One year ago, I reserved and paid a deposit on two rooms at @Hyatt Place Princeton through @hotelsdotcom for my daughter's graduation. One day before arrival I learn that @hyatt canceled one room without explanation or recourse. Now am scrambling to find housing. Buyers beware.

Munich 1938, Europe’s leaders made an agreement that Adolf Hitler could take parts of Czechoslovakia in exchange for a promise that Germany would not engage in further acts of war. Czechoslovakia was not involved in negotiations but had to accept the outcome.

Body and brain must communicate to adapt behavior efficiently. Using the fly, we discover a bidirectional pathway between the fat body and the brain and show that fat body-produced dopamine changes food preference.
