Thank you Dor!

Congrats Aleks and team!!! Beautiful story

I am excited to join the EMBO-YIP!!!
Grateful to my amazing lab members, and to my mentors and colleagues along the way, that made this possible

🚨🚨 Dear friends in North America: I will be taking a 1-year sabbatical at @uwmadisonmmi.bsky.social with the wonderful @markjmandel.bsky.social (bringing the #mucus back to the marine world) from August 2025. If you want to meet up, let me know! Please share

I was happy to contribute to the ECR TrendsTalk @cp-trendscancer.bsky.social

A macrophage-neutrophil program drives mammary carcinogenesis The molecular and cellular pathways through which breast cancer evades immunosurveillance remain poorly understood. Recent data from Camargo et al. de…

Thank you@deadoc80.bsky.social for your thoughtful commentary on @cp-trendscancer.bsky.social! This builds upon our data and shows the potential for novel therapeutic startegies targeting the TAM-TAN-tumor cell signaling niche we found.

By integrating single-cell RNA and physically interacting cell sequencing analysis, @meravcohen.bsky.social and colleagues report that neutrophils are enriched in physical crosstalk with breast tumor cells, promoting cancer aggressiveness.

Congrats Johanna and team!

Neutrophils take their PICk to promote breast cancer - Nature Cancer Tumor-infiltrating neutrophils can have either pro-tumoral potential or anti-tumoral potential. Physical contact between heterogeneous neutrophils and tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment is now ...

Thank you @soehnleinlab.bsky.social for the beautiful ‘News and Views’ on our manuscript!

Extremely happy to share our work, where we studied how #neutrophils shape a more aggressive #breastcancerTME using PIC-seq. Co-led with my PIC (partner in crime) @orimoskowitz.bsky.social Grateful with my mentor @meravcohen.bsky.social and the amazing team @meravcohenlab.bsky.social

Super happy and proud to finally share this work. I am thrilled with the result, and very grateful for the wonderful partnership with @sandracamargog.bsky.social and the expert guidance of @meravcohen.bsky.social.

Thank you Ana!

Very excited to share the first study from the lab!!! We found a pro-tumor niche dictated by neutrophil-cancer cell physical crosstalk in the breast #TME Published in Nature Cancer Kudos to @sandracamargog.bsky.social and @orimoskowitz.bsky.social for leading it

Thank you Shai!
