This study identifies ANO6-mediated trogocytosis as a mechanism by which CAFs transfer lipids to PDAC cells, promoting tumor growth and immune suppression.

This study identifies an opioid-mediated signaling axis in pancreatic cancer that drives extracellular matrix remodeling and tumor aggressiveness, suggesting methylnaltrexone as a potential therapeutic.

This study identifies P4HA3 and SERPINH1 as key driver genes for collagen production in IntClust-2 breast cancer, showing their role in cell viability, proliferation, and migration, and demonstrates that targeting these genes can reduce tumor growth.

This paper identifies NGL-1 as a stromal immunomodulator in pancreatic cancer that promotes tumor growth by modulating the tumor microenvironment through TGF-β and transcription factor pathways.

This study shows that pulsed low-dose-rate radiation combined with chemotherapy shifts pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts from tumor-promoting to tumor-suppressing, reducing desmoplasia and improving neoadjuvant therapy.
