Activated Pancreatic Stellate Cells Sequester CD8+ T Cells to Reduce Their Infiltration of the Juxtatumoral Compartment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

TLDR
Based on studies of human PDAC samples and KPC mice, activated PSCs appear to reduce migration of CD8(+) T cells to juxtatumoral stromal compartments, preventing their access to cancer cells.

YAP1-mediated pancreatic stellate cell activation inhibits pancreatic cancer cell proliferation.

TL;DR: This study revealed a critical role for YAP1 in the regulation of PSC activation and paracrine signaling and provides insights into a novel rationale for targeting Yap1 to reprogram the PDAC microenvironment.

Extracellular Influences: Molecular Subclasses and the Microenvironment in Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: An overview of the available evidence is given by delineating the elements of the PDAC stroma and their contribution to tumour growth by interpreting the heterogeneity at the gene expression level in PDAC, and how stromal elements contribute to, or interconnect, with this.

Intratumoral T cells, recurrence, and survival in epithelial ovarian cancer.

TL;DR: The presence of intratumoral T cells correlates with improved clinical outcome in advanced ovarian carcinoma and was associated with increased expression of interferon-gamma, interleukin-2, and lymphocyte-attracting chemokines within the tumor.
