Abstract excerpt
Resident fibroblasts that contact tumor epithelial cells (TEC) can become irreversibly activated as cancer-associated-fibroblasts (CAF) that stimulate oncogenic signaling in TEC. In this study, we evaluated the cross-talk between CAF and TEC isolated from tumors generated in a mouse model of KRAS/mut p53-induced pancreatic cancer (KPC mice). Transcriptomic profiling conducted after treatment with the anticancer...
