Collagen type I promotes pancreatic tumor growth and limits immune cell infiltration
2026-01-10
Abstract excerpt
Solid tumors are often characterized by a dense extracellular matrix (ECM) that contributes to increased tissue stiffness. Collagen type I is the main component of the ECM and its abundance in tumors is frequently associated with poor prognosis. In vitro studies suggest that a high collagen density promotes tumor invasion and modulates immune responses. However, recent in vivo findings have questioned the pro-tumo...
