Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignancy characterized by a dense fibroinflammatory stroma and profound hypoxia. Using pancreatic stellate cell-tumor organoid coculture models and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses, we uncover that hypoxia-driven fibroblast reprogramming promotes immunosuppressive macrophage phenotypes in PDAC. Mechanistically, hypoxia acts through tumor-fibroblast...
