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.

Dissecting FGF Signalling to Target Cellular Crosstalk in Pancreatic Cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the mechanisms by which FGFR signalling contributes to PDAC progression, focusing on its interaction with other pathways in signalling networks and discuss the therapeutic approaches that are being developed to try and improve prognosis for this terrible disease.

Signaling pathways in cancer‐associated fibroblasts: recent advances and future perspectives

TL;DR: A comprehensive understanding of the signaling cascades in CAFs might help us better understand the roles of CAFs and the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression and may facilitate the development of more efficient and safer stroma-targeted cancer therapies as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI

VentX expression in tumor-associated macrophages promotes phagocytosis and immunity against pancreatic cancers

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that VentX is required for phagocytosis and that restoration of VentX expression in PDA-TAMs promotes phagcytosis through regulating the signaling cascades involved in the process.

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.
