Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has proven to be a formidable cancer primarily due to its tumor microenvironment (TME). This highly desmoplastic, hypoxic, and pro-inflammatory environment has not only been shown to facilitate the growth and metastasis of PDAC but has also displayed powerful immunosuppressive capabilities. A critical cell involved in the development of the PDAC TME is the fibroblast, specifically the antigen-presenting cancer-associated fibroblast (apCAF).

- Angelica Gigas, also known as Purple parsnip, is a valuable medicinal plant found in East Asia, known for its various health benefits due to bioactive compounds, particularly coumarins.
- The study focused on developing a methodology to regenerate plants from protoplasts, utilizing specific growth regulators to optimize conditions for cell division and callus formation.
- Successful results were achieved, confirming that protoplast culture and embryogenesis can effectively lead to plant regeneration in Angelica gigas, potentially enhancing its cultivation for medicinal use.
This study aimed to establish an efficient plant regeneration system from leaf-derived embryogenic structure cultures of . To induce embryogenic structures, fully expanded leaf explants of were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.

Recently, epigenetic regulation has been reported to play an important role in plant cell differentiation and establishment of pluripotency. Herein, we tested the effects of chemicals, which interfere with epigenetic regulation, on the plant regeneration from mesophyll protoplasts of lettuce.
