Being a patient–scientist offers a unique perspective into the daily challenges of living with a disease, the quest to find a cure, and the need to expand the breadth of patient education.
Scientists and clinicians are increasingly using social media in a professional capacity. More guidance is needed to provide a framework for the professional use of social media in academic and clinical settings.
Pancreatic cancer is a notoriously lethal condition characterised by aggressive malignancy and dismal outcomes. However, translational advances are showing us that hope is on the horizon.
Social media is an emerging tool for scholarship and education; however, there is limited guidance on how to incorporate social media scholarship into one’s curriculum vitae. We outline the importance of recognizing gastroenterology-focused social media scholarship and present a standardized method for reporting.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) reflects the current challenge for immuno-oncology: to develop new drugs for cancers that are resistant to current immunotherapies. Here, we argue for a need to use patients to uncover new strategies that activate anti-tumour immunity.
The application of single-cell RNA sequencing platforms has generated notable insights into the heterogeneity underlying pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), encompassing both the neoplastic compartment and the tumour microenvironment. In this Comment, we discuss the most pertinent findings gleaned from both mouse models and human PDAC samples, as well as future opportunities.
The Association of Black Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists is a new organization that aims to improve gastrointestinal health outcomes in Black communities, foster networking and scholarship among its members, develop the pipeline of Black gastroenterologists and hepatologists, and promote health equity in the fields of gastroenterology and hepatology.
