Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic cancer is associated with an oncogenic KRAS mutation in approximately 90% of cases. However, a non-negligible proportion of pancreatic cancer cases harbor wild-type KRAS (KRAS-WT). This study establishes genetically engineered mouse models that develop spontaneous pancreatic cancer in the context of KRAS-WT. The Trp53loxP/loxP;Smad4loxP/loxP;Pdx1-Cre (PPSSC) mouse model harbors KRAS-WT and loss of...
