Now we are sitting by the side of the road, Roadmap in hand, with no resources. Please sign this letter calling for $50 million in funding

Ludwig @harvard.edu’s Zuen Ren shared work @ #AACR25 showing that SIRT5, a master regulator mitochondrial metabolism, is highly overexpressed and plays a key role in driving resistance to chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer.

Ludwig @unil.bsky.social’s Yi-Ru Yu @ #AACR25 with his poster describing how he, Ping-Chih Ho & team identified a mode of fat uptake by immune cells in tumors that serves as a metabolic checkpoint against anti-cancer immune responses & developed a candidate immunotherapy. bit.ly/3Gr0ygr

The proposal would cut off rental subsidies after two years for able-bodied adults. Advocates warn if enacted, the White House plan would tip many low-income renters over the edge into homelessness.

Ludwig Chicago’s Chuan He presented his work @ #AACR25 on the regulation of gene expression in leukemia by epigenetic modifications made to RNAs.

Ludwig @stanford.edu’s Rui Wang presented @ #AACR25 her research on the improved sensitivity of a liquid biopsy for the detection of pancreatic cancer that analyzes epigenetic patterns on cell-free circulating DNA and insights on tumor biology gleaned from her studies.

Ludwig @harvard.edu’s Leonie Stockschlader & Chris Sander presented @ #AACR25 their largescale analysis of mutational patterns in healthy tissues & its integration with data on precancerous/cancerous tissues for insights into genetic changes that drive the evolution of tumors.

Ludwig @mit.edu’s Diya Ramesh shared @ #AACR25 research showing that cancer cells exhibit novel metabolic vulnerabilities in low-lipid tissue environments.

Ludwig @stanford.edu’s Naiara Martinez-Velez shared @ #AACR25 her work developing organoid models for pediatric cancers that capture the complex immune landscapes of tumors and can serve as platforms for the preclinical examination of immunotherapies.

Ludwig @harvard.edu’s Adrienne Parsons presented @ #AACR25 her work on age-associated differences in cell states and interactions in estrogen receptor-positive and triple-negative breast cancers—work that provides clues to age-adapted interventions for breast cancer therapy.

Samantha’s words speak to the devastating reality of #MECFS —a disease that isolates and steals. “ME/CFS is watching life happen to other people while you slowly fade away.” Support ME/CFS research: www.omf.ngo?form=donatenow
