Notch signaling activated by replication stress–induced expression of midkine drives epithelial–mesenchymal transition and chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer
C Güngör, H Zander, KE Effenberger, YK Vashist… - Cancer research, 2011 - AACR
The incidence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) nearly equals its mortality rate,
partly because most PDACs are intrinsically chemoresistant and thus largely untreatable. It …
