IFNγ-dependent tumor-cell MHC-II is restrained by MAPK signaling and associated with immunotherapy responsiveness in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and poor prognosis. Although major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) is typically expressed by professional antigen-presenting cells, its regulation a...

The PancreaSure Multianalyte Blood Test Performs Well at Distinguishing Early-Stage Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma from High-Risk Controls: A Retrospective Secondary Analysis

Background/Objectives: Biomarkers that can facilitate early detection of pancreatic cancer and extend patient survival are a significant unmet need. PancreaSure is a serum biomarker signature that performed well at distinguishing Stage I and II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (P...

GNL3 SUMOylation is essential for DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination

DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair via homologous recombination (HR) is critical for maintaining genomic integrity and requires proper DNA end resection to generate single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) overhangs. However, the mechanisms governing this critical step in cells remains poor...
