Here it is: Our December issue of the Ludwig Link!
You’ll find in these pages the usual smorgasbord of research briefs from across the Ludwig community, including reports on a remote-controlled CAR-T construct, how certain T cells keep metabolism in tune and on time, new strategies for treating triple-negative breast cancer and novel markers to select patients likely to respond to TIL-ACT therapy.
We also have news reports on a program launched this year focused on myeloid cells in cancer, and on a very successful scientific retreat the Ludwig Institute recently convened in Portugal.
A couple of issues ago, we began what we plan to make a regular feature in the Ludwig Link—interviews with trainees across our Branches and Centers. You’ll see in this issue our second set of interviews with some of Ludwig’s bright early-career scientists—one each from Ludwig Harvard, Ludwig Johns Hopkins and Ludwig Stanford. Additionally, we introduce you to the newest PI in our community—Bethan Psaila, who officially joined Ludwig Oxford this past fall.
Finally, you might have noticed that we’ve developed a minor obsession with pictures of the usual protagonists of our stories—cells, cancerous and otherwise. There may be dutiful reasons to run them in the Link, but the truth is we just can’t resist a sexy micrograph. To say we’re pleased that the multiplex tints leap from the pages of this issue would be a bit of an understatement.
We mention this—but of course—because we have an ask: If any of you have pretty micrographs you’d like to show off to the world, we’re happy to help you do so. Please send them our way and, with your permission, we’ll post them as appropriate on our website, social media and perhaps even randomly in this magazine whenever we feel we’d like a little extra color.
With that, I leave you to peruse this issue.
Happy reading!
