ARTICLE: ATRA modulates mechanical activation of TGF-β by pancreatic stellate cells

Our most recently published paper in Scientific Reports describes how all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) regulates the ability of pancreatic stellate cells to mechanically activate TGF-β, which would otherwise sustain a tumour-promoting environment.
