Exploiting oxidative phosphorylation to promote the stem and immunoevasive properties of pancreatic cancer stem cells

Long-term cultures of pancreatic cancer stem cells (PaCSCs) are difficult to obtain. Here, the authors present a 2D culture method, based on the use of galactose, to establish cell cultures from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma xenotransplants enriched in PaCSCs.
