IL-6 and related cytokines as the critical lynchpins between inflammation and cancer.

TL;DR: The interleukin (IL)-6 family of cytokines, especially IL-6 and IL-11, is highly up-regulated in many cancers and considered as one of the most important cytokine families during tumorigenesis and metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis of primary sclerosing cholangitis and advances in diagnosis and management.

TL;DR: Current understanding of this enigmatic disorder is reviewed, the recognition of specific clinical subtypes and their pattern of progression could improve phenotypic and genotypic classification of the disease, and important topics for future studies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Involvement of JAK/STAT signaling in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to highlight the recent findings on the regulatory mechanism of JAK/STAT signaling pathways and to reveal the evolving comprehension of their interface which might be of interest for clinicians involved in IBD therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting the tumor microenvironment: JAK-STAT3 signaling

TL;DR: To what extent JAK-STAT3-targeted therapies affect the tumor microenvironment and whether the observed effects underlie responsiveness to therapy are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Spectrum of Achalasia: Lessons From Studies of Pathophysiology and High-Resolution Manometry

TL;DR: It has become apparent that the cardinal feature of achalasia, impaired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, can occur in several disease phenotypes; however, without a disease-specific biomarker, no manometric pattern is absolutely specific.

Hallmarks of cancer: the next generation.

TL;DR: Recognition of the widespread applicability of these concepts will increasingly affect the development of new means to treat human cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer

TL;DR: The principal mechanisms that govern the effects of inflammation and immunity on tumor development are outlined and attractive new targets for cancer therapy and prevention are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of cancer cell metabolism

TL;DR: Interest in the topic of tumour metabolism has waxed and waned over the past century, but it has become clear that many of the signalling pathways that are affected by genetic mutations and the tumour microenvironment have a profound effect on core metabolism, making this topic once again one of the most intense areas of research in cancer biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

STATs in cancer inflammation and immunity: a leading role for STAT3

TL;DR: Signal transducer and activator of transcription proteins are central in determining whether immune responses in the tumour microenvironment promote or inhibit cancer, and STAT3 is a promising target to redirect inflammation for cancer therapy.
