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.
