There's much more in the collection, including an infographic outlining some of the grim statistics surrounding the disease and a Q&A with a surgeon who's developing a breathalyzer-type test to quickly detect pancreatic cancer. Check them out here: www.nature.com/immersive/pa...

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.

Researchers are trying to answer fundamental questions about pancreatic cancer, about why it's so aggressive and impervious to many drugs. New modeling efforts, from mini versions of the pancreas to designer mice, are aiding that work, writes @rachelnuwer.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The pancreatic cancer models helping to drive innovation in the field
Cellular, animal and computational models of the disease are providing fresh insights into biology and treatment.

A big bottleneck in treating pancreatic cancer is the fact that the disease is often caught at advanced stages. But with new blood-based tests and more focused screening, scientists are looking to change that, @cassandrawillyard.bsky.social writes: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Early detection could improve pancreatic cancer’s poor survival rates
The disease is often caught too late to affect a person’s prognosis — scientists are looking to change that.
