About This Project
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers because its cells survive by recycling their own components through autophagy. We designed a small peptide to block this process by targeting a key enzyme that activates it. To ensure delivery into tumor cells, the peptide is packaged inside exosomes, tiny natural carriers. Using pancreatic cancer cell cultures, we’ll test whether this approach can shut down autophagy and weaken tumor survival.
