Thanks! We are definitely looking forward to see more of your work on the mussel #TransCan!

Wow 🤩 new bivalve transmissible cancer #TransCan study by the amazing @metzgerm.bsky.social lab on the progression of the disease over long periods. Progression to death, long-term non-progression and remission quantified. Looking forward comparing with our results in #MusselsAreCool MtrBTN #MarEvol

Gene expression in soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) transmissible cancer reveals survival mechanisms during host infection and seawater transfer Author summary Transmissible cancers are rare contagious cancers that are spread by the transfer of cancer cells from one individual to another. They were reported first in dogs and Tasmanian devils, ...

Already available as a preprint, this study by @metzgerm.bsky.social 's group is now published in @plos.org Genetics 🤩. It confirms in Mya transmissible cancer, as was found in mussels, the mis-regulation of genetic pathways expected in any cancers. #TransCan #MarEvol dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

If you thought everything amazing in transmissible cancer was known, you were wrong. #TransCan #CancerEcoEvo #PopGen

#PostDoc in #Montpellier on mussel transmissible cancers #TransCan These weird cancers have undergone genome doublings and aneuploidisation You will play with PacBio and Nanopore data Join the #HyperCan team in a joyfull environment. #MarEvol #PopGen #MusselsAreCool euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/333894

New study by @metzgerm.bsky.social's amazing group reporting two lineages of transmissible cancer #TransCan in Puget Sound cockles, and, as in most #TransCan, repeated horizontal transmissions of mitochondria. #MarEvol

Within Pur-Ther, we are looking into purinergic checkpoints like P2X7, CD73, and CD39, and their role in the tumor microenvironment.
Stay tuned for insights and discoveries shaping the future of immunotherapies! 🌟 🧑‍🔬 👨‍🔬 ⚗️

A new #MusselsAreCool t-shirt offered by Érika Burioli (not yet on bsky) for her new ERC project HYPERCAN on hyperploid variation in mussel transmissible cancers. #TransCan

Fascinating two-day workshop on bivalve transmissible cancers #BTN #TransCan with @metzgerm.bsky.social as guest star. Exciting research is being done on these amazing sea creatures.

We are currently traveling through #Quebec #Canada, and I snapped this photo through the opened window of our truck while zipping along the #TransCan.

Funded PhD: Mechanisms and evolutionary significance of hyperploidy variations in blue mussel transmissible cancer | EURAXESS Transmissible cancers are fascinating biological entities that spread from one animal to another by the direct transfer of cancer cells, behaving in this way like parasitic life forms.
