An international team of scientists, led by @charlesswanton.bsky.social lab at the Crick and @ucl.ac.uk and funded by @cancerresearchuk.org, have identified a signature of 14 proteins in the blood that can predict lung cancer risk over five years before diagnosis.

In a collaboration between the Crick and @embl.org, researchers used a mix of experimental work in zebrafish and theoretical modelling to discover a feedback loop between an embryo’s changing material properties, such as its rigidity, and the signalling molecules that guide patterning.
This research was a collaboration between the labs of Bernat Corominas-Murtra, @zenahadjivasiliou.bsky.social and @nicolettapetridou.bsky.social.
