Oil Droplet Taxis: A New Route for Oral Cancer Medicine

December 20, 2024

Pancreatic cancer, especially the type called pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is very dangerous. A medicine called paclitaxel, or PTX, is often given through a needle (intravenously) to treat this cancer. PTX can trigger a special type of cell death that helps the immune system fight cancer
