Another mRNA #vaccine win:

Scientists have developed a cancer vaccine that can deliver treatments more effectively in people who have brain cancer and teach their immune systems to fight back. They’ve tested it successfully in four people now, and are moving on to more testing.

Brain cancer in children is notoriously hard to treat – a new mRNA cancer vaccine triggers an attack from within

Cancer vaccines have gained much interest among scientists but face a number of hurdles. A new mRNA vaccine for glioma offers a step forward in training the immune system to fight cancer.

After months of work I'm so happy that our new preprint is online!

Profiling the expression of #transportome genes in #cancer: a systematic approach.
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.07.18.549498v1

It's a bit unfinished but it's by design! We want and need #feedback from #bioinformatics and #physiology people to move forward. I've tried to follow #openscience principles, so the pipeline is completely autonomous, containerized and the code for the paper is there, included in the repos!

Profiling the Expression of Transportome Genes in cancer: A systematic approach

The transportome, the -omic layer encompassing all Ion Channels and Transporters (ICTs), is crucial for cell physiology. It is therefore reasonable to hypothesize a role of the transportome in disease, and in particular in cancer.
