Strength in Unity: a Dual Strategy to Restore NK Cell Cytotoxicity against Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

2026-02-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a condition representing 90% of pancreatic cancers, shows one of the lowest 5-year survival rates across all cancer types. Current therapeutic approaches remain largely inefficient, in part due to the presence of a hostile tumor microenvironment (TME), impeding immune cells infiltration and function. Specifically, Natural Killer (NK)...
