Thrilled to share 2 papers from the Sawyers/Pe'er labs identifying highly plastic cell states with activated JAK/STAT/FGFR signaling that when inhibited re-sensitize to ARSIs - consistent across GEMMs, organoids, and human tumors @jmchan88 WRK @JZ_MDPhD @dana_peer @CharlesSawyers

Fantastic work at #AACR22 by @samirzaidi from @SawyersLabMSKCC @MSKCancerCenter indicating a role for JAK + FGFR inhibition in reversing #ProstateCancer lineage plasticity. We need more great work like this to help our patients with neuroendocrine differentiated prostate cancer.
