Abstract

Pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDACs) are scarcely vascularized and thus virtually insensitive to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In a recent issue of , Lowe and collaborators have demonstrated that senescence induction by MEK plus CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors favors PDAC revascularization coupled to infiltration by therapeutically actionable CD8 T cells.
