Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pancreatic cancer is a life-threatening disease and resistant to conventional therapy. Our goal is to determine the new therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer. We analyzed the relationship between tumor cells and microenvironment and found that CD109 is a key player. We demonstrated that CD109 plays critical roles in tumorigenicity and migration capacity, and is associated with distant metastasis.
