Targeting ELOVL6 to disrupt c-MYC driven lipid metabolism in pancreatic cancer enhances chemosensitivity
Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with a 12% survival rate, highlighting the need for novel therapies.c-MYC overexpression, driven by upstream mutations and amplifications, reprograms tumor metabolism and promotes proliferation, migration and metastasis.This study identifies ELOVL6, a fatty acid elongase regulated
