Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit spatial and functional diversity. Here, Niu et al. unveil SETD2's function in lipid metabolism and CAF heterogeneity in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. SETD2 deficiency boosts oxidative phosphorylation activity, prompting lipid-laden CAF formation through BMP2 signaling, offering promising therapeutic avenues in personalized cancer treatment.
