Abstract excerpt
The pancreatic tumour stroma is composed of phenotypically heterogenous cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) with both pro- and anti-tumorigenic functions. Here, we studied the impact of calcipotriol, a vitamin D3 analogue, on the activation of human pancreatic CAFs and T cells using 2- and 3-dimensional (2D, 3D) cell culture models. We found that calcipotriol decreased CAF proliferation and migration and reduced...
