Background & Aims: Epithelial tumors generally resemble the cellular architecture of their tissue of origin. However, this link remains largely unexplored in the pancreas. Methods: Using Nanostring GeoMx DSP®, Resolve Molecular Cartography® and Nanostring CosMx®, and integration with single cell RNAseq datasets, we mapped the human pancreatic ducta...
Article
A ‘classical’ and a ‘basal‐like’ subtype of pancreatic cancer have been reported, with differential expression of GATA6 and different dosages of mutant KRAS . We established in situ detection of KRAS point mutations and mRNA panels for the consensus subtypes aiming to project these findings to paraffin‐embedded clinical tumour samples for spatial q...

Cancers affecting the gastrointestinal system are highly prevalent and their incidence is still increasing. Among them, gastric and pancreatic cancers have a dismal prognosis (survival of 5–20%) and are defined as difficult-to-treat cancers. This reflects the urge for novel therapeutic targets and aims for personalised therapies. As a prerequisite...

Maintenance of the pancreatic acinar cell phenotype suppresses tumor formation. Hence, repetitive acute or chronic pancreatitis, stress conditions in which the acinar cells dedifferentiate, predispose for cancer formation in the pancreas. Dedifferentiated acinar cells acquire a large panel of duct cell-specific markers. However, it remains unclear...
