Our @Nature paper is out! It's been known for a while that long-term dietary habits can affect how our immune system behaves. But what about much briefer changes in diet? In mice, we found that even a few days of dietary change (think cheat days...or perhaps salad Sundays) at the onset of inflammation can profoundly alter disease severity and establish lasting inflammatory memory in tissues, even after the diet changes back. nature.com/articles/s41586-0… This work was led by two extraordinarily dedicated and inexhaustible members of our lab: former graduate student @OwenJ457 and former technician John Tayeri. It was also an exercise in collaborative science as many labs @UCSF and @Stanford came together to bring this over the finish line - special thanks to @gardnerlabUCSF, @Molofsky_lab, @alexis_combes, @Treg_Mike. Deeply grateful to everyone who contributed!

This is an important release in @JCO_ASCO in conjunction with #ESMO26 #DASL HiCaP trial. Identifying pts who benefit the most from intensified treatment is a work in progress. @ASCO @myESMO @ChrisSweens1 #ENZARAD @Prof_IanD et al. @OncoAlert ENZARAD (ANZUP 1303): Phase 3 Trial of Enzalutamide With Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Radiation Therapy in High-Risk Localized or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer | Journal of Clinical Oncology ascopubs.org/doi/pdf/10.1200…

🚨 ENZARAD (ANZUP 1303): 2 years of enzalutamide did not improve metastasis-free survival when added to RT + ADT in high-risk/locally advanced #prostatecancer 🚨 @JCO_ASCO 👥 802 pts, high-risk localized or locally advanced PCa (incl cN1) 📊 Open-label phase 3 RCT, definitive prostate RT + 24 mo ADT 💊 Enzalutamide 160mg daily x24 mo vs older NSAA x6 mo ⏱️ Median f/u 92 mo ✅ 8-yr MFS on conventional imaging 74% vs 72%, HR 0.88 (0.67-1.15), P=0.34, not significant ✅ No OS benefit ✅ Prespecified subgroup w/ planned pelvic nodal RT (n=324): HR 0.47 (0.29-0.76), Padj=0.004 ⚠️ Subgroup signal is hypothesis-generating; grade 3-5 AEs 46% in both arms 🎯 Enzalutamide on top of RT + 2 yr ADT did not improve outcomes overall, potential signal with pelvic nodal RT subgroup 🔗 doi.org/10.1200/JCO-26-01794 @urotoday @UrologyTimes @PCF_Science @SbrtSean @ChrisSweens1 @Prof_IanD @UroOnc @SUO_YUO

膵癌の免疫回避が局所的なのかシステミックかを検討、腫瘍由来のSERPINE1及びSERPINB2が局所的に免疫抑制的なニッチ形成に働いていることを明らかにした論文。腫瘍の中でも境界に近い細胞がこれらを発現、間質を線維化、MΦからの免疫抑制を誘導するらしい。Nature。 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Premature birth may do more than interrupt brain development—it may fundamentally alter how the cerebellum matures into early childhood, according to a new study in Science. The findings reveal how the timing of birth shapes brain cell development and neural connections, offering new insight into the lasting neurodevelopmental effects of prematurity. 📄: scim.ag/47OzVMI #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4yLJRkY

🧵 #ESMO26 prostate cancer highlights- my personal summary @urotoday:
1️⃣ Very high-risk localised: DASL-HiCaP & the ARPI class question
2️⃣ mHSPC: PEACE-1, CAPItello-281 OS + PSA >0.2: intensify or de-intensify? 
3️⃣ mCRPC: PROMPT, ctDNA vs tissue
4️⃣ NE PCa: KEYNOTE-365 1/5
