Spatial transcriptomics reveals the heterogeneity and FGG+CRP+ inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts replace islets in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

BackgroundUnderstanding the spatial heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in pancreatic cancer (PC) remains challenging.MethodsIn this study, we performed spatial transcriptomics (ST) to investigate the gene expression features across one normal pancreatic tissue, PC tissue, adjacent tum...
