Research identifies new way to halt pancreatic cancer invasion by targeting healthy cells

10th November 2022

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London have identified a new channel of communication through which non-cancerous cells drive the invasion of cancer cells in pancreatic cancer. By blocking a particular signalling molecule within this pathway, called Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1, the team was able to reduce invasion of pancreatic cancer cells in the laboratory.

Targeting healthy cells changes invasive behaviour of pancreatic cancer

25th January 2022

Researchers from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London, led by Dr Angus Cameron, have found a way to modulate the invasive behaviour of pancreatic cancer by targeting a non-cancerous cell type found within pancreatic tumours. The findings, published in Cell Reports, provide valuable insights into the biology of pancreatic cancer progression, and could help to drive improvements in cancer treatment.
