👏 Not only fantastic cross-disciplinary research from across LIMS & La Trobe Agriculture, Biomedicine & Environment, but a special milestone of firsts for Helbig Lab members Zahra Telikani (first-time first author) and Dr Ebony Monson (first-time senior author). Congrats to all! Read 👉 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉Big congrats to PhD candidate Stephanie Rutter from the Poon Lab in SABE La Trobe University and La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science. Her stunning microscopy image of influenza-infected cells captured using La Trobe Bioimaging Platform is featured on the May cover of Trends Cell Biology Trends Cell Biology 👏 The issue also includes an

Published today in Nature, Camilo et al. (Keith Ligon, E. Antonio Chiocca, MD, PhD, FAANS , Fran Quintana Lab) reveal that GBM co-opts TRAIL+ astrocytes to suppress anti-tumor immunity. The team identify a distinct subset of TRAIL+ astrocytes within the GBM tumor microenvironment that induces

This is heartbreaking...

📢 Exciting new research from La Trobe Agriculture, Biomedicine & Environment opens new doors for future biomedical research! Dr Zahra Telikani from Helbig Lab has developed tiny fat-based particles that travel to a wider range of cells and organs (including the brain) in mice and zebrafish models. Read more 👉
