Incredibly happy to see our work published in @Nature today 🥹 By combining whole-body tissue clearing, light-sheet microscopy and AI, we mapped obesity-associated remodeling across the entire mouse body in 3D at cellular resolution nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell. In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉 nature.com/articles/s41586-0… led by @Dorie00 & @yingchen733

We found an adrenergic iron–MSRA axis that regulates methionine redox signaling and adipose browning. Disrupting MSRA preserved tissue mass and prolonged survival in tumor-bearing mice. Huge congrats to Jung Seung Nam, who led this work! nature.com/articles/s43018-0…

In 2025, one child got a CRISPR therapy made for him. Gene therapy's "moon landing". My #ERCStG ONE2MANY asks how editing scales from n=1 to many, in the heart: one edit for a group of mutations, AI-guided protein engineering & delivery. Thanks @ERC_Research & my fantastic team!

🔥 Check out our new study in Cancer Discovery @CD_AACR! We identify tumor-secreted ADAMTSL4 as a driver of cancer cachexia through local TGF-β1 activation. Congratulations to @JulianoMacha17 and the team! Happy to have contributed! aacrjournals.org/cancerdisco…
🧬 Excited to share our new study, now published in Cancer Discovery! We identify tumor-secreted ADAMTSL4 as a previously unknown driver of cancer cachexia, promoting skeletal muscle and adipose tissue wasting. A thread on what we found 🧵👇

We are opening the call for the first generation of Founding Principal Investigators of the Cori Institute in Graz. We are looking for scientists who want to understand metabolism as the fundamental organising logic of life.

Got your own 3D data from clearing and light sheet imaging, but no idea how to tackle the analysis? We have just the solution for you in Munich: A two-day course on deep learning and VR-assisted segmentation, atlas registration, and so on! Take the course @erturklab

Excited to share our new paper in @ScienceMagazine A subset of lung cancers drives cachexia, not through factors circulating in the blood, but through local lung sensory neurons. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… big thanks to first authors Michael and @s_kotschi our collaborators
What if one of cancer’s most devastating side effects could be reversed? Cancer cachexia is a debilitating wasting syndrome that affects many people with cancer, yet treatment options remain limited. Team CANCAN has published new research in @ScienceMagazine that highlights a previously underappreciated driver of cancer cachexia: localised signals from tumours acting directly on sensory neurons. This is a big step toward reframing cancer cachexia as not only a systemic metabolic condition, but also one shaped by tumour–nerve communication. 🎥 @ThalesPapaG, Co-Investigator on team CANCAN and team InteroCANCEption, explains the discovery and what it could mean for patients. Read the full paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… --- Team CANCAN is funded by @CR_UK and @theNCI through Cancer Grand Challenges.

This study changed the way I think about cachexia. For a long time we have been looking for tumor-secreted factors that induce sickness and wasting. @ThalesPapaG now shows us that the "sickness signal" can be transmitted directly to the brain via sensory neurons. Congrats to the whole team. #CANCAN @CancerGrand @theNCI @CRUKresearch science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
