Interesting approach for acne treatment: engineer bacteria to work like Accutane, but locally (and without all the nasty side effects)! Modified C. Acnes bacteria secrete NGAL to kill sebocytes & thus sebum production. They engraft on mice skin & produce NGAL there.

Excited to share our @BioRxiv preprint 👩‍🔬, “The Gut Microbiome Controls Liver Tumors via the Vagus Nerve” from @TimGreten @NCIResearchCtr. 🧵 #neuroimmune #HCC #microbiome #CancerResearch

Scientists from La Jolla Institute and Biogen found blocking the TWEAK cytokine reduces #psoriasis gene expression and skin inflammation in mice, pointing to alternative treatment. Check out the 2021 study: scim.ag/5FN #WeekendReads

Thank you nature for featuring our lab's #CancerNeuroscience image on the front page of nature.com this week! Good timing for the upcoming #CancerNeuroscienceSymposium MD Anderson Cancer Center being held February 28-March 1, 2024 👉mdanderson.cloud-cme.com/course/courseo…

Saw today these astrocytes interacting with an amyloid plaque in the brain of an #Alzheimer Disease patient, in the prefrontal cortex. Beautiful and scary!🔬(🟠astrocytes-gfap,🔵b-amyloid-D3D2N)

Have been looking a lot at astrocytes recently; these guys are workaholics! Check the ones handling 2 blood vessels at the same time. One disruption and the blood-brain barrier can be compromised! This one is from the human brain. Nuclei 🔵Dapi, Astrocytes 🟠Gfap. ZEISS Microscopy
