My Research Spotlight 🔬 blog this month feat. exciting progress in #pancreaticcancer research, along with a reflection on my visit to D.C. to advocate for federal funding on Capitol Hill: https://t.co/b8Zqyn3IPp

Components of normal tissue architecture maintain structure (+ fxn) & serve as barriers to tumor progression…but how? We report a 🧩 in our new preprint. Congrats to 1st author @kathrinaonate & thx to collabs @MSKCancerCenter@OHSUKnight@StanfordMed! 1/ https://t.co/cHuAELP8N5
New preprint from @MaraShermanLab@MSKCancerCenter
Stromal KITL/SCF promotes pancreas tissue homeostasis and restrains tumor progression
https://t.co/O3bWbG8EaC
This study examines what factor(s) in the normal pancreatic mesenchyme might be lost in the process of multistep #PancreaticCancer pathogenesis. One candidate that emerges is KIT ligand or stem cell factor (SCF) & genetic disruption of mesenchymal KITL/SCF in the non-neoplastic pancreas accelerates pancreatic tumorigenesis. Important as we try to identify not just drivers of exocrine neoplasia, but host barriers that impede this process.
Happy to share this opportunity to join our team. Please apply if you are interested, or re-post if you are not on the look out for a new job https://t.co/RYs9G5W1v5
Zeribe Nwosu (@zeribechike), assistant professor of molecular biology & genetics, is working to identify & study mechanisms through which #cancer cells acquire & utilize nutrients - currently mainly focused on pancreatic cancer. Follow his lab: @NwosuLab. https://t.co/Q2wi561kMr
