A national team of cancer researchers led by Stony Brook Medicine investigated the role of Keratin 17 (K17) in the most common form of pancreatic cancer.
The study takes an initial step toward better understanding how the KRAS gene drives immune evasion and demonstrates a lowering of the KRAS activity, resulting in a more favorable environment to fight cancer.
Arie Kaufman, chair of the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University, has received a grant for almost $1 million from The Marcus Foundation to explore the use of virtual reality in pancreatic cancer...
