Abstract
- SLIT-ROBO alterations arise in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), but their role in the pancreas is unclear. Here, the authors use mouse models to show that loss of epithelial Robo2 activates the neighbouring stroma via TGF-β signalling; findings are relevant to PDAC patients, where ROBO expression correlates with survival outcomes.
