Modeling pancreatic cancer tumor stroma co-evolution in an in ovo model

Raphela A. Ranjan, Aashreya Ravichandra, Philipp Putze, Anna Chernysheva, Johannes Wirth, Daniele Lucarelli, Wing Yin Ng, Oleksandra Pavlovska, Khanyile Sibusisiwe Sibanda, Erik Leipe, Felix Schicktanz, Stefanie Bärthel, Anna Melissa Schlitter, Rupert Öllinger, Marc Ringelhan, , Maximilian Reichert

This study uses an in ovo model to show that the CAM platform supports tumor-stroma coevolution in pancreatic cancer, preserving patient-specific features and enabling functional analysis of stromal interactions.

c-Rel drives pancreatic cancer metastasis through Fibronectin-Integrin signaling-induced isolation stress resistance and EMT activation

D. Bakırdöğen, Kıvanç Görgülü, J. Xin, L. Richter, Sonia Alcalá, Laura Ruíz-Cañas, C. Dai, Katrin J. Frank, Nan Wu, Kalliope Nina Diakopoulos, H. Ozturk, Deniz Demircioğlu, Katja Peschke, R. Ranjan, Francesca Fusco, , Hana Algül

This study identifies c-Rel as a driver of pancreatic cancer metastasis by promoting EMT, ECM remodeling, and resistance to isolation stress through fibronectin-integrin signaling.
