New Clues in the Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists have made a big discovery about how pancreatic cancer works, which could be a huge step towards finding a cure.

They found that pancreatic cancer cells can switch off a gene called HNF4A, which is important for keeping our bodies healthy.

This allows the cancer to grow and spread much faster, making it very dangerous.

This new knowledge could help scientists develop new medicines that stop the cancer from switching off this gene, leading to better treatments.
