TGF-β1-mediated downregulation of L1CAM in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma drives upregulation of collagen 17A1 and MMP2, facilitating tumor invasiveness and metastasis

TGF-β1-mediated downregulation of L1CAM in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma drives upregulation of collagen 17A1 and MMP2, facilitating tumor invasiveness and metastasis

Abstract The highly fibrotic microenvironment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) poses significant challenges for effective treatment, particularly in drug delivery and tumor progression. Our study investigates the role of collagen dynamics in PDAC, revealing that TGF-β1 negatively regulates...
