'Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) remains one of the deadliest major cancers, contrasting a relatively low incidence rate1. The primary reasons for this are related to the difficulty with early detection and a lack of effective therapeutic options. A principal barrier to treatment of pancreatic cancer is the densely fibrotic tumor microenvironment, the high interstitial pressure of which acts to collapse blood vessels and impair the delivery of chemotherapy. This lack of functional vasculature leads to deregulated nutrient availability within the tumor, causing cancer cells to develop numerous metabolic adaptations to allow for proliferation under hypoxic and austere conditions'

'I also knew from Elmyr’s story that provenance—the history of who had owned an artwork and where it had been—could be a problem.

I've read that our bodies contain tens of trillions (10 raised to 12th power) of cells! Each one has a mind of its own and wants to survive badly. Of course, there are bad actors who go rogue and cause havoc.

Trillions enclosed within multi-layer cells called the skin. We are nothing but a sack of cells.

Oh, yeah, you guessed right, I'm just reading "The Song of The Cell" by Siddhartha Mukherjee.

Hello Mastodon! This is an #introduction. I’m a writer (book: Spare Parts, which is a history of transplant surgery from the sixteenth century to the present day (yes, they did transplants back then!) Published by Penguin in the UK and Australia, and St Martin’s in North America. Before this, I was a film maker. Actually, I still am, working mostly with museums, universities and healthcare institutions. I’m so excited to learn about and connect with you all!
