Stanford researchers discovered a method to reverse pancreatic cancer's chemotherapy resistance by targeting stiffer tissue.

Stanford researchers developed a new method to reverse pancreatic cancer's resistance to chemotherapy, as reported in Nature Materials. The study reveals that cancer cells become resistant in stiffer tissue, while softer tissue makes them more responsive to chemotherapy. This finding suggests potential targets for new pancreatic cancer treatments, overcoming chemoresistance, a major clinical challenge.
