OverviewAI-generated summary

Isabel Powers investigates the role of extracellular vesicles derived from pancreatic tumors in promoting perineural invasion. Her research focuses on how these vesicles stimulate Schwann cells, the cells that insulate peripheral nerves, to adopt a phenotype that facilitates cancer spread along nerves. Specifically, her work has identified Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and CCL2 as key signaling molecules involved in this process, as demonstrated in in vitro studies. Powers has published four articles on this topic, collaborating with researchers from both the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Emory Gregory, Azemat Jamshidi‐Parsian, Young Hye Song, and Robert J. Griffin. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2 with a total of 4 publications and 9 citations.
