Bioengineering and biomechanical approaches for pancreatic cancer

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer related mortality and is predicted to be the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030. A hallmark feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is dense fibrotic stroma surrounding the tumor, composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) and cells such as myofibroblasts. The properties of this stroma and functional contribution to carcinogenesis and disease...
