Wow cool! 🙏 Follow up to this study here:
The highest cited ORIGINAL research paper (🥇) in #PancreaticCancer over the last five years is the 2020 @Nature paper from Alec Kimmelman @nyulangone and @rushika_perera @UCSFCancer. With an astounding ~900 citations in five years (!!), this paper really provided important mechanistic insights into how pancreatic cancer cells evade the host immune system. Autophagy promotes immune evasion of #PancreaticCancer by degrading MHC-I I wrote an accompanying @NatureNV to this wonderful article. Pancreatic cancer hidden in plain sight
