Building up the tension between the epithelial and stromal compartment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Biffi, G., Ohlund, D., Tuveson, D. (August 2016) Building up the tension between the epithelial and stromal compartment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Cell Death Differ, 23 (8). pp. 1265-1266. ISSN 1476-5403 (Electronic)1350-9047 (Linking)

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
