27 Feb 2024 --- Researchers suggest a pathway for potential new therapeutic strategies against pancreatic cancer based on vitamin B6. This vitamin supports immune cells, or natural killer cells, to counter various diseases. However, in someone with pancreatic cancer, cancer cells use up all the vitamin B6 that immune cells need to fight it, blocking their function. Instead of simply giving additional vitamin B6 — which only helps pancreatic cancer cells grow more — the research team reveals a three-part strategy, which successfully reduced the amount of pancreatic cancer cells in mice.
