Targeting CTGF+ cancer-associated fibroblasts disrupts tumor-stroma crosstalk in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a heavily fibrotic tumor microenvironment (TME), primarily driven by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Due to the high heterogeneity and diverse biological behaviors of CAFs, the current strategies targeting CAFs have limited benefits in clinic. This study...
