Nanoparticle-based delivery systems modulate the tumor microenvironment in pancreatic cancer for enhanced therapy

Abstract Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignant tumors with a low survival rate, partly because the tumor microenvironment (TME), which consists of extracellular matrix (ECM), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune cells, and vascular systems, prevents effective drug delivery an...
