Inter‐ and intra‐tumoural heterogeneity in cancer‐associated fibroblasts of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
21 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are orchestrators of the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) microenvironment. Stromal heterogeneity may explain differential pathophysiological roles of the stroma (pro- versus anti-tumoural) in PDAC. We hypothesised that multiple CAF functional subtypes exist in PDAC, that contribute to stromal heterogeneity through interactions with cancer cells. Using molecular and...
