Beyond excited to share that the main work of my PhD on how aspartate signaling drives metastasis is finally out in @Nature ✨ -> go.nature.com/4gCYtuL A huge thank to the @Fendtlab and all our collaborators for the terrific team work 🙏 @KU_Leuven @vib_ccb A brief🧵

We've known how important the tumor microenvironment is for cancer progression and treatment, but we never had a non-invasive blood test to assess it. Today, as reported @nature, one has been discovered nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

In a medical milestone, a customized base editor was developed, characterized in human and mouse cells, tested in mice, studied for safety in non-human primates, cleared by @US_FDA for clinical trial use, manufactured as a complex with an LNP, and dosed into a baby with a severe, rapidly progressing genetic disease... all in an astounding 7 months. Best of all, the infant patient shows apparent benefit. Congratulations to @kiranmusunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, and other team members for this heroic and inspiring effort, which has implications for the hundreds of millions of patients that suffer from thousands of genetic diseases. drive.google.com/file/d/1Jfk…

🥳 congrats @anke_vandekeere and collabs!!
Check out our latest methods paper for studying protein palmitoylation in mammalian cells. Great collaborative work between the Fendt Lab (@vib_ccb) and @AznarLab (@IRBBarcelona), led by @anke_vandekeere and @Miguel_MartinP!! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kZOH…

Did you know that cancer metabolism works both ways? Tumors influence the host systemically, while the host's metabolic state also shapes cancer progression... Explore this dynamic interplay in our latest review in @NatureRevCancer ⬇️⬇️

5/5) In turn, eIF5A hypusination promoted a translational program with TGFβ signaling as central hub leading to collagen synthesis and metastasis aggressiveness. We found key proteins of this pathway enriched in lung metastasis of breast cancer patients.
