Thanks for replying, Molly! Really any type is fine--I'm looking to hear about how/whether the current federal actions in the area are affecting scientists and/or their work.

Something novel that has emerged from studying pancreatic cancer biology is how these tumors use survival techniques from nerve cells to stay rooted in the body. As @ldattaro.bsky.social writes, this cancer might be less fatal if it weren't for the nervous system: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Pancreatic cancer is evasive. Is the nervous system the reason why?
A growing body of research suggests tumours rely on proteins and genes that are unique to the nervous system to persist in the body.
