• Exercise decreases the total amount of CAFs and alters the CAF composition by increasing myCAF and reducing iCAF.

• Due to the relevance of the CAF heterogeneity in PDAC chemoresistance and immunosuppression, further studies are needed to test the synergistic effect of exercise with chemotherapy or ICB on tumor growth.
