The 3 hardest things to learn as a scientist:
1. Trust the data.. especially when it’s not what you expected,
2. Trust the data.. allowing it to change your direction,
3. Trust the data.. but not too much: test with new data at every turn.

On the balance of knowledge - Nature Reviews Immunology Ruslan Medzhitov shares his thoughts on the balance between generating data and developing theories in immunology, with a focus on exploring the rules that govern complex systems.

Too much data, too little thinking.
A important essay from Ruslan Medzhitov on the importance of understanding data, not just generating it. A must read.

Why cancer can come back years later — and how to stop it Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.

Understanding why cancers relapse - sometimes years or decades after successful treatment - is a major challenge in the cancer field

This perspective in Nature discusses several of the important recent advances and new studies in the field of tumor dormancy 🧪⚕️

Tumour-reactive heterotypic CD8 T cell clusters from clinical samples Tumour-reactive CD8+ T cells are enriched in functional clusters with tumour cells and/or antigen-presenting cells and can be isolated and expanded from clinical samples.

As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure: the flow-cytometry doublets that are routinely excluded from analysis are in fact a rich source of tumor-reactive T cells.

The tumor microenvironment of 14,837 breast cancers is associated with clinical outcome independently of genomic subtypes Tu et al. present a systematic analysis of the tumor microenvironment across 14,837 breast cancers, identifying distinct cellular patterns that predict disease-specific survival independently of genomic and intrinsic subtypes. Characterizing microenvironment composition may provide critical prognostic markers that can complement current molecular classification for treatment selection and preventing recurrence.
