Our Plant & Bake Sale CRUK Cambridge Institute is ready to go! Come and support us to raise fund for Pancreatic Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK !


🚨2024 is coming to a close but #research on #fibroblast_functions in #cancer is far from done ✅. If you want to know more, read our latest #review now in press Trends in Cancer. Fantastic job by Priscilla Cheng and Marta Zaccaria 🌟👏🏻. And happy 2025 🫶 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A really comprehensive fibroblast review in primary and metastatic cancers! In Trends in Cancer from Giulia Biffi Marta Zaccaria Priscilla Cheng Wonderful job! Illustrations below highlighting (A) Cues that contribute to fibroblast heterogeneity in cancer (B) Fibroblast Cancer cell


Our review discussing the functional crosstalk between #fibroblast subtypes and the #TME in primary and metastatic #cancers is out now in Trends in Cancer . Thank you Marta Zaccaria Giulia Biffi and the Biffi lab! doi.org/10.1016/j.trec…

A review to get you talking! 💬 Priscilla Cheng, Marta Zaccaria, and Dr. Giulia Biffi discuss recently identified functional interactions of #CAF subtypes with immune cells, and other stromal cells in primary tumors and metastases. CRUK Cambridge Institute 📚 bit.ly/4gAPbz8



🥳Happy to see Eloise Lloyd et al finally published! A beautiful study looking at how distinct #genetics of malignant cells shape #PDACprogression, #TMEcomposition and #TherapyResponse. 👇 aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti… Also, for future posts see you on 🦋 @giuliabiffi.bsky.social

New Cancer Research paper from Giulia Biffi vincorbo and colleagues: SMAD4 and KRAS Status Shape Cancer Cell-Stromal Crosstalk and Therapeutic Response in #PancreaticCancer This study compares the effect of two distinct KRAS alleles (G12D and G12V) as well as the status of SMAD4
