Stem Cell Model of Pancreatic Cancer
September 17, 2013 | Terry Sharrer
“We were able to predict the appearance of cellular features and protein markers in the intermediate stages of pancreatic cancer that are not evident in the terminal stages. This has given us new perspectives into what this deadly type of cancer looks like — something no one has seen before in human cells”—is how researchers at the University of Pennsylvania portray their discovery of biomarker profiles of earlier stages of pancreatic cancer, based on changes in induced pluripotent stem cells..
