Cover Story: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most prevalent form of pancreatic cancer, is typically diagnosed at late stages and exhibits poor prognosis. Existing therapies offer limited survival benefit, underscoring the need for novel, personalized approaches informed by molecular and functional profiling. This review highlights two underexplored molecular classes—long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs)—that regulate gene expression and contribute to PDAC pathogenesis. We summarize their general functions, highlight select lncRNAs and RBPs and their contribution to PDAC progression and therapy resistance, and explore emerging strategies that target their activity to enhance therapeutic outcomes. View this paper
