Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a malignancy with a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), showing strong resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies, such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) derived from tumors play a critical role in tumor immune supp...
Research Report on the Mechanism of BAG6 Restricting Pancreatic Cancer Progression Research Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has an extremely poor prognosis, with a median survival of only 6 months, urgently requiring new treatment methods. In recent years, studies have found that extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by tumor cel...
Research Report: The Regulatory Role of ROR2 in Pancreatic Cancer Cell Plasticity Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease with most patients lacking the possibility of a cure. This is partly due to the difficulty in early detection. One of the characteristics of PDAC is its extensive tumor cell heterogene...
Interactive Mechanisms Between Cancer Cells and Macrophages Facilitate Pancreatic Cancer Cachexia Background Pancreatic cancer is currently the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer death within the next decade. Unfortunately, more than 80% of pancreatic cancer ...
Intrinsic Epigenetic Dysregulation in Tumor Cells Shapes Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Heterogeneity to Metabolically Support Pancreatic Cancer Authors Ningning Niu, Qingshen Xu, Wang Zheng, …, Kurong Jiang, Fengshi Yu, Xue Xu Jing published an article titled “Intrinsic Epigenetic Dysregulation in Tumor Cells Shapes Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts He...
The Biological Basis of Regional ECM Breakdown and Nerve Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive types of cancer, typically associated with a highly fibrotic stroma, which can account for about 90% of the tumor mass. Although morphological heterogeneity is not addressed in routi...
