We are tremendously saddened to learn of the passing of Boston Marathon icon Dick Hoyt. Dick personified what it means to be a Boston Marathoner, finishing 32 races with son Rick. We are keeping his many family & friends in our prayers. bit.ly/DickHoyt

Hear from Dr. Theresa Lu about her clinical background in pediatric rheumatology, her passion for research to understand disease mechanisms, and more. #WomensHistoryMonth #HSSRheum youtu.be/91XJWuX4DEk

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is genetic material that can be collected from the environment to gain information about the species living in a particular ecosystem.  #Cornell researchers have used eDNA for #citizenscience projects including #fish tracking. fishtracker.vet.cornell.edu

The Lu Lab is online! Give us a follow Theresa Lu Lab and check out TheresaLuLab.com for some cool science!

With her Lupus Research grant, Dr. Theresa Lu and colleagues at HSS found that one type of skin cell that protects the skin during sun exposure is less abundant and does not work properly in people with #lupus.

We’re thrilled to share that we’re launching a new @CZBiohub in New York! Bringing together engineers + scientists at Columbia University, Rockefeller University and Yale University, #CZBiohubNY will engineer immune cells for earlier detection & treatment of disease

Congratulations to my amazing colleague and friend Thomas M. Li!

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this work with Thomas M. Li and many amazing collaborators!

Our paper in nature is out! We demonstrate that sensory neurons drive breast cancer metastasis via paracrine signaling mediated by substance-P. Fortunate to work with such a great team lead by Sohail Tavazoie and Veena Padmanaban with support from Isabel Keller Benjamin Ostendorf & more

Researchers in Sohail Tavazoie's lab found a “neuro-cancer axis” that may promote the spread of breast cancer. They also found that an FDA-approved anti-nausea medication may prevent it: bit.ly/3WAit8Q #RockefellerScience

The sorts of nerve that allow people to touch, see, hear and taste can help breast cancer cells to infiltrate other regions of the body go.nature.com/4dbmyXT

Imagine nerves as highways that help cancer cells spread, but a common anti-nausea drug can act like a roadblock to slow this down. nature.com/articles/s4158… Veena Padmanaban Sohail Tavazoie Isabel Keller Ethan Seltzer Benjamin Ostendorf
