“Totally Unexpected” – Scientists Discover Pancreatic Cancer’s Fatal Addiction
Researchers at The Wistar Institute and ChristianaCare have uncovered a critical weakness in pancreatic cancer. They found that damaged mitochondria within tumor cells activate the TLR3‑TRAF6 signaling pathway, creating inflammation that the cancer depends on for growth. Blocking this pathway caused cancer cells to die in experimental models. The discovery, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, points to a novel therapeutic target for a disease with historically poor outcomes.
