Abstract
Patients with pancreatic cancer often battle cachexia which leads to extreme weight and muscle loss. Despite its severity, cachexia remains without a cure. I focus on fibroblasts (non-cancerous cells in pancreatic tumours known to influence cancer growth) to understand how these cells may drive cachexia and whether we can build therapies to target them.
