Tumor-immune-neural circuit disrupts energy homeostasis in #PancreaticCancer cachexia
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Cancer cell derived CSF1 acts on macrophages via CSF1R to promote GDF15 secretion, which then activates sympathetic signaling via GFRAL/RET binding, promoting cachexia.

Many challenging topics to discuss with @SoniaKupfer on Sept 26. 🧐
➡️ Can we do endoscopic surveillance in #CDH1 patients?
➡️ What if we find T1 signet ring cells? ➡️ How do we know what represents invasive cancer?
Be sure to tune in to find out ‼️
