A big, BIG day for @UFHealthCancer and @Rosen_NeuroOnc as the first publication of our multilamellar mRNA nanoparticles is officially in print @CellCellPress . Amazing work by @castillopa5 , Hector Mendez-Gomez, Anna DeVries, Elias Sayour and a huge team! tinyurl.com/5e7d9hrn

Paul Castillo MD@castillopa5

Multilamellar RNA nanoparticle aggregates orchestrate innate and adaptive immunity to reject early and late stage murine tumors. In client-owned dogs, RNA-LPAs improved survival and reprogrammed TME. In a first-in-human trial, RNA-LPAs elicited rapid cytokine/chemokine release, immune activation/trafficking, and glioma-specific immune responses. Years of amazing teamwork now out in Cell. Thank you so much to our team members! @UFHealthCancer @ogandorivas @JohnLigon @Rosen_NeuroOnc @UFHealth @UFMBI cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I almost never use this for personal reasons… but I’m bringing my 6yo and 4yo to their first @spurs game on 2/8 in Orlando. I know @wemby generally isn’t doing back-to-backs, but please PLEASE skip the Heat game on 2/7 so my kids can see you play!!! 🙏🏻
