Components of normal tissue architecture maintain structure (+ fxn) & serve as barriers to tumor progression…but how? We report a 🧩 in our new preprint. Congrats to 1st author @kathrinaonate & thx to collabs @MSKCancerCenter @OHSUKnight @StanfordMed! 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New preprint from @MaraShermanLab @MSKCancerCenter Stromal KITL/SCF promotes pancreas tissue homeostasis and restrains tumor progression biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… This study examines what factor(s) in the normal pancreatic mesenchyme might be lost in the process of multistep #PancreaticCancer pathogenesis. One candidate that emerges is KIT ligand or stem cell factor (SCF) & genetic disruption of mesenchymal KITL/SCF in the non-neoplastic pancreas accelerates pancreatic tumorigenesis. Important as we try to identify not just drivers of exocrine neoplasia, but host barriers that impede this process.
