Tuft cells transdifferentiate to neural-like progenitor cells in the progression of pancreatic cancer

D. J. Salas-Escabillas, M. T. Hoffman, J. S. Moore, S. M. Brender, H.-J. Wen, S. Benitz, E. T. Davis, D. Long, A. M. Wombwell, N. G. Steele, R. C. Sears, I. Matsumoto, K. E. DelGiorno, H. C. Crawford

The paper shows that metaplastic tuft cells in pancreatic cancer transdifferentiate into neural-like progenitor cells, driven by Myc activity, and this transition is linked to poor patient survival.

ROR2 regulates cellular plasticity in pancreatic neoplasia and adenocarcinoma

S. Benitz, A. Steep, M. Nasser, J. Preall, U. M. Mahajan, H. McQuithey, I. Loveless, E. T. Davis, H.-J. Wen, D. W. Long, T. Metzler, S. Zwernik, M. Louw, D. Rempinski, D. Salas-Escabillas, , H. C. Crawford

This study identifies ROR2 as a regulator of cellular plasticity in pancreatic neoplasia, showing it promotes an aggressive PDAC phenotype and resistance to KRAS inhibitors.
