Abstract excerpt
Major contributors to therapeutic resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) include Kras mutations, a dense desmoplastic stroma that prevents drug delivery to the tumor, and activation of redundant signaling pathways. We have previously identified a mechanistic rationale for targeting STAT3 signaling to overcome therapeutic resistance in PDAC. In this study, we investigate the molecular mechanisms...
