Dual targeting of α5β1 and αvβ3 shows efficacy in pancreatic cancer models
Jan. 30, 2025
Intercellular communication between tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) plays a key role in tumorigenesis and progression, and CAFs generate an extracellular matrix that provides a repository for factors that promote cancer progression. Alpha Beta Therapeutics Inc. researchers aimed to investigate the mechanisms by which CAFs facilitate tumor initiation and tumorigenesis of pancreatic cancer.
