Loss of Rnf43 accelerates Kras-mediated neoplasia and remodels the tumor immune microenvironment in pancreatic adenocarcinoma

RNF43 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is recurrently mutated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and precursor cystic neoplasms of the pancreas. The impact of RNF43 mutations on PDAC is poorly understood and autochthonous models have not been suf… Continue reading

Intestinal Cathelicidin Antimicrobial Peptide Shapes a Protective Neonatal Gut Microbiota against Pancreatic Autoimmunity

Alteration of the gut microbiota is implicated in the development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D), as shown in humans and the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model. However, how gut dysbiosis arises and promotes the autoimmune response remains an op… Continue reading

Clinical and Endoscopic Characteristics Associated with Post-Endoscopy Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Ten percent of patients with an upper gastrointestinal cancer will have received an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within three years prior to diagnosis, termed post-endoscopy upper gastrointestinal cancers (PEUGIC). We aimed to determine the charact… Continue reading
