Disrupting glutamine metabolic pathways to sensitize gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer

Abstract Pancreatic cancer is a lethal disease with poor prognosis. Gemcitabine has been the first line systemic treatment for pancreatic cancer. However, the rapid development of drug resistance has been a major hurdle in gemcitabine therapy leading to unsatisfactory patient outcomes. With the rece...
