Regulation of pH by Carbonic Anhydrase 9 Mediates Survival of Pancreatic Cancer Cells With Activated KRAS in Response to Hypoxia
Most pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) express an activated form of KRAS, become hypoxic and dysplastic, and are refractory to chemo- and radiation-therapies. To survive in the hypoxic environment, PDAC cells upregulate enzymes and transporters… Continue reading

Inhibiting Interleukin 11 Signaling Reduces Hepatocyte Death and Liver Fibrosis, Inflammation, and Steatosis in Mouse Models of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
We studied the role of interleukin 11 (IL11) signaling in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis using hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), hepatocytes, and mouse models of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Continue reading
