As a former (briefly) neuroscientist, work like this bringing together mitochondrial physiology and neuronal function/basis of memory is super exciting to see and, in my small opinion, long overdue. Bravo Bergami Lab and all involved. Looking forward to your next works already!

Scientists at CRUK Scotland Inst have found that certain mutations in cancer cells make them much more likely to respond to immunotherapy treatment.

With our funding, they're now working on a plan to mimic these changes and make immunotherapy effective against more cancers 👇

Just following up on our recent paper describing the role of recurrent mtDNA mutation in cancer - here are a couple of pieces, from Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK and Nature Cancer, for the non-expert audience:

Using experimental approaches in a study supported by our division, Mahnoor M, Ed Reznik, Payam A. Gammage, et al. found that mitochondrial DNA mutations promote a cellular metabolic shift to enhance #immunotherapy in #melanoma Nature Cancer nature.com/articles/s4301….

As ever - if you would like to read an engaging, amusing and lucid tweetorial about our recent paper, Ed Reznik’s is the one to go for 🙏

.University of Glasgow scientists at the @CRUK_SIb have made an unusual discovery that could help to identify patients who are up to two and a half times more likely to respond to currently available cancer drugs 🔬🧬

Sometimes, when tinkering at work, I stick on the Spotify ‘music for concentration’ playlist and pretend I’m in a creative, savant-like Hollywood movie montage. If you like to do this too then check out album 👇 - composed by a friend of mine. Beautiful.

Not condoning or approving of the effects on other industries where it will be pretty catastrophic, but don’t the new UK immigration rules only make it easier for us to finally start paying postdocs better? Asking for a friend.
