An Antibacterial protein, a new therapeutic target against pancreatic cancer - EurekAlert
A recent study led by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), published in the journal GUT, describes how pancreatic cancer stem cells take advantage of an antibacterial protein, PGLYRP1, to evade the immune system and protect themselves from early elimination. When you remove this protein, the defenses are able to recognize the tumor cells and kill them. This will enable the design of new immunotherapies that act against the root cause of pancreatic cancer and, in the future, lead to improvements in therapy.
