Happy to share our work on autophagy in lymphatic endothelial cells of the lymph node by Diede Houbaert @Colinda Scheele. Autophagy remodels LN niche-specific LEC phenotypes and functions as a gatekeeper of T cell trafficking and antitumor immunity. 🙏 to all our great collaborators!

Congratulations Sarah 🥳👏

Delighted to share this piece in Cancer Discovery. Together with Gaetano Gargiulo and Michela Seressi we advocate an overarching framework recognizing tumors as comprising driver, passenger, and trailer cell states... Thanks to Elizabeth McKenna for the opportunity. doi.org/10.1158/2159-8…

🚨Deadline approaching!
Join us at #ImmunoOnco24 to hear about the fascinating work of Gabriel Rabinovich Rabinovich Lab , the early bird deadline is the 18th of April.
