Stress-tolerant cells shown to drive tumor initiation in pancreatic cancer

by University of California – San Diego Tumor-initiating cells (blue) produce an extracellular matrix containing fibronectin (pink) which gives them increased stress tolerance, drug resistance and tumor-initiating properties. Credit: UC San Diego Health Sciences Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a molecular pathway critical to the initiation of pancreatic tumors....
