    Abstract

    Hypoxia-Induced NFATc3 deSUMOylation Enhances Pancreatic Carcinoma Progression

    The authors demonstrated that nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 3 (NFATc3) was activated in human PDAC cells and that excessive activation of NFATc3 was correlated to advanced stages of PDAC.

    Activation of STING in the Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment: A Novel Therapeutic Opportunity

    The authors discuss the potential benefits of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) activation in PDAC, as well as describe the major components of the PDAC tumor microenvironment, and the expected consequences of STING activation.
    [Cancer Letters]

    Abstract

    Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Crosstalk between Pancreatic Cancer and Stromal Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment

    Investigators collect and analyze recent findings of the pancreatic cancer-stromal cell interactions mediated by extracellular vesicles and the mechanisms involved in cancer-related immunity and chemoresistance.
