The Dawning of a New Editorial Board for Gastroenterology

Change. An old adage stipulates it is the one true constant in life, or, stated another way, “Change is inevitable-except from a vending machine” (Robert Gallagher). On behalf of our new Board of Editors, we are honored, humbled, and excited to ove… Continue reading

YAP1 and TAZ Control Pancreatic Cancer Initiation in Mice by Direct Up-regulation of JAK–STAT3 Signaling

Pancreatitis is the most important risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Pancreatitis predisposes to PDAC because it induces a process of acinar cell reprogramming known as acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM)—a precursor of pancreati… Continue reading

Administration of Gemcitabine After Pancreatic Tumor Resection in Mice Induces an Antitumor Immune Response Mediated by Natural Killer Cells

Even after potentially curative R0 resection, patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a poor prognosis owing to high rates of local recurrence and metastasis to distant organs. However, we have no suitable transgenic animal models fo… Continue reading

Two-Step Forward Genetic Screen in Mice Identifies Ral GTPase-Activating Proteins as Suppressors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

High-throughput sequencing technologies have identified thousands of infrequently mutated genes in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). However, high intratumor and intertumor heterogeneity, combined with large numbers of passenger mutations, have made it… Continue reading
