Working on the 2027 Pancreatic Diseases GRC (www.grc.org/pancreatic-d...) and I am just so excited about the developing programme.... and it's May 9-14, Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco, Italy. Have a look and remember to mark your calendars.

Day 2 of the CSHL PDAC. Marina Pasca di Magliano kicks off with an intro to the TME, Nina Steele discusses endothelial cells, @marasherman.bsky.social covers nerves, and @tme-caf-ecm.bsky.social explains the ECM. Capped off by tumor plasticity and subtypes by @hccvpdac.bsky.social.

Final days to secure your spot for this exciting webinar on Monday, April 27 on "Stromal Architects: ECM, Fibroblasts, and the Cancer Niche" with @tme-caf-ecm.bsky.social and Yash Chhabra!!! Register now! forms.gle/7LoqzKp891PQ...

Don’t miss poster #4920 this morning! #AACR26 @theaacr.bsky.social #MariiaDmitrieva will show how #multiplexIF of human #pancreatic 3D CAF/ECM units, using @biotechne.bsky.social COMET & HORIZON, assigns pro- vs anti-tumor functional values. @foxchasecancer.bsky.social

Excited to share our research together with #risingStar #YashChhabra on the role that fibroblasts/ECM functional units play in fertilizing the tumor soil, and show some possible means for drying the land. @foxchasesurgonc.bsky.social and @templeunivpress.bsky.social

Weekend reading 🚨 A comprehensive #Review on the dual role of the #cGAS–#STING pathway in cancer, emphasizing its involvement in both tumour suppression and promotion, which might underlie the limited clinical success of cGAS–STING targeting in cancer therapy. 📖👇

Opportunities and challenges of targeting cGAS–STING in cancer - Nature Reviews Cancer

In this Review, Lu et al. discuss the dual role of the cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)–stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway in cancer, emphasizing its involvement in both tumour suppression and promotion. They highlight the diverse sources of pathway activation and suggest that this functional duality may underlie the limited clinical success of cGAS–STING targeting in cancer therapy.

Also really happy @asbmb.bsky.social highlighted a small award I got from Temple School of Medicine for work in LGBTQ+ representation in science. Sometimes young queer scientists don’t see anyone like them. This award shows them some of us have been around a long time and accomplished a few things.

#ExtraExtra the amazing @saumyamarumdphd.bsky.social just joined our #GIMedicalOncology and the Cancer Signaling & Microenvironment Program as our newest #AssistantProfessor at #FoxChaseCancerCenter #PancreaticCancer #TumorMicroenvironment We wish you the #BestofLuck!!!!! 💜💜💜
