Researchers have designed a candidate drug that could help make pancreatic cancer, which is almost always fatal, a treatable, perhaps even curable, ...
Our bodies depend on mucus to function properly. As it turns out, so do some cancer cells. Scientists discovered mucus not only allows young pancreatic cancer cells to grow, but also prevents them from transforming into deadlier, drug-resistant ...
Older people may be at greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer and have poorer prognoses because of age-related changes in cells in the pancreas called fibroblasts, according to new ...
Scientists have discovered that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) hijacks a protein called EN-1 to evade cancer-fighting genes during metastasis. Future drugs targeting EN-1 or related proteins in cancer cells could lead to better, more ...

Early laboratory results in mice show the drug PXS-5505 increases survival when combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of pancreatic ductal ...

Scientists have developed a nanoengineered bioink with improved bonding and cross-linking capabilities for 3D bioprinted tumor models. These capabilities are enabled by the addition of Laponite, ...

Four years ago, a report that a common species of fungus might fuel pancreatic cancer offered a promising new view of the deadly disease. But in working to validate the finding, researchers have ...

Giving patients with operable pancreatic cancers a three-pronged combination immunotherapy treatment consisting of the pancreatic cancer vaccine GVAX, the immune checkpoint therapy nivolumab and ...

Researchers find a combination of drugs outperformed other treatments in human and mouse models of pancreatic cancer; now urge clinical ...

Researchers have discovered a new nutrient source that pancreatic cancer cells use to grow. The molecule, uridine, offers insight into both biochemical processes and possible therapeutic pathways. ...

Nanomedicine researchers have found a way to tame pancreatic cancer -- one of the most aggressive and difficult to treat cancers -- by delivering immunotherapy directly into the tumor with a device ...

A research team has identified a set of biomarkers that could help distinguish whether cysts on the pancreas are likely to develop into cancer or remain ...

Researchers describe how pancreatic cancer stem cells leverage a protein in a family of proteins that normally suppress tumors to instead do the opposite, boosting their resistance to conventional ...
