The Ephrin B2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase is a Regulator of Proto-oncogene MYC and Molecular Programs Central to Barrett’s Neoplasia

Mechanisms contributing to the onset and progression of Barrett’s (BE)-associated esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) remain elusive. Here, we interrogated the major signaling pathways deregulated early in the development of Barrett’s neoplasia. Continue reading

Independent validation and assay standardization of improved metabolic biomarker signature to differentiate pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma from chronic pancreatitis

Pancreatic cancer (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy, requiring efficient detection when the primary tumor is still resectable. We had previously developed the MxPancreasScore comprising nine analytes and serum CA19-9, achieving an accuracy of 90.6%…. Continue reading

SMAD4 suppresses colitis-associated carcinoma through inhibition of CCL20/CCR6-mediated inflammation

We previously reported that colon epithelial cell silencing of Smad4 increased epithelial expression of inflammatory genes, including the chemokine CCL20, and increased susceptibility to colitis-associated cancer. Here, we examine the role of the chemo… Continue reading
