Abstract

In recent years, pancreatic cancer-associated stroma has been the topic of a number of studies that have proposed stromal components as promising, but still controversial, targets for novel therapeutic strategies. A new study describes how epithelial TGF-β signalling deficiency and consequential STAT3 activation act as key players in modulating the desmoplastic reaction, with implications for both clinical outcome and future drug development
