Resistance to chemotherapy is a major clinical challenge in the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we provide evidence that Rho associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) maintains gemcitabine resistance in gemcitabine resistant pancreatic cancer cells (GR cells).
