[Nature Communications] Scientists investigated the effect of Amuc_1098 on acute pancreatitis in mice induced by caerulein combined with lipopolysaccharide or L-arginine.
[iScience] Investigators conducted a phosphoproteomics analysis to evaluate phosphorylation levels, and administered extracellular vesicles derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells in a mouse model of severe acute pancreatitis and assessed their impact on Treg differentiation.
[Molecular Cancer] The authors investigated the mechanisms underlying the interaction and influence between microvascular invasion, which contributes to metastasis and poor prognosis of PDAC, and the tumor microenvironment.
[Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer] Researchers demonstrated that relaxin can enhance intratumoral accumulation of programmed death-ligand 1-targeted RIT (lutetium-177-labeled atezolizumab) in a multifaceted manner to elicit synergistic antitumor immune response against desmoplastic and poorly immunogenic pancreatic tumors.
[Cell Death & Disease] Scientists utilized molecular cytology techniques, animal models, and human pancreatic cancer tissues to investigate the role of FoxM1 in Smad4 stabilization and its regulation of TGF-β signaling.
[Cancer & Metabolism] Investigators suggested that SRRM1 may serve as a predictive biomarker for gemcitabine (GEM) response in pancreatic cancer. Targeting SRRM1 in conjunction with ferroptosis inducers could offer a promising strategy to overcome GEM resistance.
[Oncogene] Researchers identified KDM4B as a key driver of chemoresistance, with immunohistochemical analysis revealing its elevated expression in chemoresistant tissues from small cell lung cancer patients. KDM4B promoted chemoresistance through the Hedgehog pathway by enhancing cell proliferation and stemness.
[NCCN® (EurekAlert)] The National Comprehensive Cancer Network®(NCCN®) announced several recent external awards and publications honoring the work of NCCN’s dedicated staff. The distinctions focused on scientific research, policy efforts, patient information, and system improvements.
[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] Scientists focus on astroglia; they briefly introduce these cells from an evolutionary and functional perspective, they present the general pathophysiology of astroglia, and finally they discuss how to target astroglial cells in cognitive brain disorders.
