Embryonic signal drives pancreatic cancer and offers a way to kill it
Pancreatic cancer is a particularly challenging one to beat; it has a
tendency to spread and harbors cancer stem cells that stubbornly

those cancer stem cells. The target is a self-renewal pathway known
for its role not in cancer but in embryonic stem cells.
