Typical work day for a Nature editor

So happy to have contributed to ExSEQ, out today in Science Magazine! We use hydrogel chemistry (ExM) to swell intact tissues like a balloon 🎈🧠, enabling spatial transcriptomics 🧬🔬 more precise than a single wavelength of light! science.sciencemag.org/content/371/65…

Getting ready to present “State of the laboratory” talk today at lab meeting. This allows me to not only describe the kinds of projects we are working on, but also previous work that has led to where we are today. It helps me to formulate future plans & share a mission statement.

Wow

“We hope to provide a roadmap to overcome the barriers that prevent #immunotherapy from penetrating throughout the tumor microenvironment and attacking #cancer cells,” said Dr. Gregory Beatty, on his work to improve immunotherapy for #PancreaticCancer. spr.ly/6018Xvy68

The liver can be a path towards establishing immune tolerance for autoimmune diseases. But it also promotes immune evasion of cancer. A mechanism for this is identified here and could prove useful for directing therapy nature.com/articles/s4159… Nature Immunology Beatty Lab Penn Medicine

Liver #inflammation has long been associated with worse cancer outcomes and more recently with poor response to #immunotherapy. New research published in Nature Immunology has found a big reason why. The study was led by Penn Medicine - Abramson Cancer Center's Gregory Beatty, MD, PhD. spr.ly/6015bLluZ
