FAK activity in cancer‐associated fibroblasts is a prognostic marker and a druggable key metastatic player in pancreatic cancer
7 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are considered the most abundant type of stromal cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), playing a critical role in tumour progression and chemoresistance; however, a druggable target on CAFs has not yet been identified. Here we report that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity (evaluated based on 397 tyrosine phosphorylation level) in CAFs is highly increased...
