Suppression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma growth and metastasis by fibrillar collagens produced selectively by tumor cells

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a collagen-rich dense extracellular matrix that promotes malignancy of cancer cells. Here, the authors show that fibrillar collagen that is cancer-cell-derived, but not stroma-derived, selectively restrains tumor growth under control of their pC-proteinase, BMP1.
