Abstract excerpt
Mutations in KRAS-one of the ras family of oncogenes, encoding a GTPase critical to intracellular signal transduction--are more prevalent (80%-95%) in pancreatic cancer than in any other malignancy. There is increasing evidence that stromal cells--including pancreatic stellate cells--play a vital role in development and progression of pancreatic carcinomas. Advances in understanding the underlying biology of...
