Studying immunology, inflammation, autoimmunity, gastritis and gastric carcinogenesis @SLU_Official.

[Gut Journal @Gut_BMJ]

Autoimmune gastritis has traditionally been viewed mainly as a risk factor for gastric neuroendocrine tumours and non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. But could its cancer risk extend further?

Read the #RecentAdvancesInClinicalPractice #GUTRecentAdvancesInClinicalPractice by Lenti et al. entitled “Autoimmune gastritis: a hidden gateway to cardia and oesophageal cancers beyond non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma” via https://t.co/Ve38KXIdju

This review brings together emerging epidemiological and clinical evidence suggesting that autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anaemia may also be associated with malignancies involving the gastric cardia, gastro-oesophageal junction and oesophagus.

The authors explore possible mechanisms including corpus-predominant atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and vitamin B12 deficiency, while highlighting important gaps in our current understanding.

The review challenges us to think beyond the traditional boundaries of autoimmune gastritis and raises important questions about future risk stratification and surveillance.

Debemos prestar más atención al cardias y zona de esófago inferior ya que el riesgo aumenta con una gastritis autoinmune

Amazing week at the FASEB GI meeting in Snowbird, UT! Thrilling to reconnect with old friends and meet new colleagues, energized by fantastic science, and leaving with countless new ideas for our research. Huge thanks to the organizers for an outstanding meeting! #GITractSRC

[DiPaolo Lab @DipaoloLab]

@bryan_johnson We have expertise in AIG and engineering immune regulation/tolerance and are following this journey!

[DiPaolo Lab @DipaoloLab]

@bryan_johnson Following to keep updated, my lab studies autoimmune gastritis extensively, it would be interesting to chat.

Next week at @PEGSboston, Ahmet Vakkasoglu & Richard DiPaolo will present preclinical data on our TGF-β/IL-2 fusion protein CUE-401, supporting its ability to expand existing T regs and induce new Tregs in #autoimmune & #inflammatory diseases. Join us: https://t.co/AW7dgysVtS

Big week for the DiPaolo Lab, Nick, now Dr. Nicholas Jackson defended his thesis, @challen_p gave an outstanding talk at @DDWMeeting and Lily McMorrow @SLUMDPhD present a great poster! Proud mentor here.

[DiPaolo Lab @DipaoloLab]

@The_Choi_Lab Congratulations!

[DiPaolo Lab @DipaoloLab]

Excited for Nicholas Jackson as he graduates soon as Dr. Nicholas Jackson (PhD)! Led standout IL‑2/TGF‑β immunology work with @CueBiopharma. Excellent scientist & communicator—now seeking post‑PhD opportunities. Preprint: https://t.co/9BDkUUNhh9

[DiPaolo Lab @DipaoloLab]

Take a look at this article from our group/collaborators @CueBiopharma describing an exciting new strategy to restore immune tolerance— CUE-401 co-delivers attenuated IL-2 and TGF-β3 to selectively activate Tregs and suppress autoimmunity
