A new @SciSignal study identifies enzymes that may drive a drug-resistant state in #PancreaticCancer and decrypts tumor heterogeneity at the single-cell level, suggesting that drugs called ERK inhibitors could minimize resistance to chemotherapy. scim.ag/3JbNPzD

Applying single-cell imaging and mutual information concepts, researchers discover that the activity of the kinase ERK drives EMT heterogeneity in #PancreaticCancer cells in response to growth factors or chemotherapeutics. @LazzaraLab @UVA scim.ag/45jxAcd
