“A human pan-disease blood atlas of the circulating proteome” is out in Science! 🎉

Seeing this come together has been a highlight of my PhD: exploring proteome profiles across health, aging & disease.

Huge thanks to all collaborators & patients 🙌

Stretching the skin could enable vaccines to be given without a needle

Needle-free vaccines could be made possible by stretching the skin to stimulate immune cells and increase its permeability, then applying a lotion that contains the vaccine dose.

Harvard University lays off fly database team The layoffs jeopardize this resource, which has served more than 4,000 labs for about three decades.

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

A new study published in Modern Pathology reveals that the growth pattern of breast cancer tumors after neoadjuvant treatment can indicate the risk of recurrence. This insight is crucial for assessing patient prognosis 🧪
#BreastCancer #Oncology
www.modernpathology.org/article/S089...

Screenshot of graph with title 'Proportion of Cancer Cases by Route to Diagnosis England, 2020'. The relevant percentages for breast cancer are Two week clinic 59.8%, Screening 21%, other outpatient3%, GP referral 8.7%, emergency presentation 4.8%, unknown 1.8%.

Surprised to find only 21% of #BreastCancer in the UK is diagnosed via screening. The majority are diagnosed via symptoms and referral to '2 week clinic'. (Which I gather may be >2 weeks wait).

The figure in Australia is 46%. Shouldn't the UK invest more in earlier (asymptomatic) detection? 🤔
