Using single cell transcriptomic and blood proteomic data to understand how pancreatic cancer causes diabetes and to find ways to detect the cancer earlier

University of Liverpool Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest of the common cancers. Five-year survival remains low at 12%. Sadly for 80% of patients, by the time their cancer is diagnosed it has spread to distant organs making them ineligible for potentially curative surgery. Read more

Identifying Mechanisms of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Resistance in Breast/Cervical Cancer (with emphasis on FGFR)

Kingston University Faculty of Health, Science, Social Care and Education

FGF signalling is implicated in cancer (e.g., breast and cervical cancer) susceptibility and progression, suggesting that this powerful developmental pathway is co-opted by cancer cells. Read more

Cancer cells ‘feed’ on extracellular matrix components under starvation conditions: how can they do it?

University of Sheffield School of Biosciences

Background. The tumour microenvironment (TME) has a key role in promoting tumour formation and progression. In breast and pancreatic cancers, this accompanied by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the TME. Read more
