Abstract B001: Cancer-associated fibroblast p38α MAPK signaling coordinates collagen architecture and immune suppression to drive chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains highly refractory to chemoimmunotherapy due in large part to its dense, immunosuppressive stroma. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the dominant stromal cell population, promote tumor progression through inflammatory signaling, aligned collagen-rich extracellula...
