Mesenchymal-epithelial transition reduces proliferation but increases immune evasion in tumor spheroids The mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) whether full or partial, has been implicated in secondary tumor growth during metastasis. Here, we explore…

Congrats to our latest graduate Gina Dimari 🤩🥳💐@fischerfriedriclab.bsky.social @poldresden.bsky.social freshly graduated @tudresden.bsky.social faculty of Biology. Thanks to everyone involved in the project recently published @cp-iscience.bsky.social

How do individual proteins sculpt the epithelial basement membrane?
Our new study uncovers their role in network structure, nematic alignment & fractal patterns.

Why do secondary #tumors go for #MET during the metastatic cascade? Our new study suggests that immune evasion—rather than faster proliferation—might give them the edge.
