Oncogenic KRAS-MAPK signaling sustains a CD73 dependent therapeutic vulnerability in pancreatic cancer

Khadija Shahab Turabi, Urvinder Kaur Sardarni, Katherine E. Ankenbauer…·Jennifer M. Bailey

This study shows that combining CD73 and RAS(ON) inhibition reduces tumor growth and immune suppression in pancreatic cancer by targeting KRAS-MAPK driven CD73 signaling.

Spatial analysis of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms reveals secretory cell-enriched neighborhoods

Amelia Cephas, Brenda Jarvis, Katherine Gell…·Kathleen E. DelGiorno

The paper uses spatial transcriptomics and immunostaining to analyze secretory cell distribution in IPMNs, finding spatial enrichment of specific cell types and associations with immune and fibroblast populations.

ENaC contributes to macrophage dysfunction in cystic fibrosis

John Moran, Courtney Pugh, Nevian Brown…·Benjamin T. Kopp

This study shows ENaC is overexpressed in CF macrophages and contributes to their dysfunction, with ENaC inhibition improving immune function and reducing inflammation.
