|
|
| Scientists screened the role of fetuin-A in survival of murine β-cells and validated the effect of fetuin-A release and lipid induced apoptosis in mouse insulinoma cell line MIN6. [Journal of Cellular Physiology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers revealed that angiopoietins, including angiopoietin-1 and angiopoietin-2 permitted the generation of islets from induced pluripotent stem cells with elevated glucose responsiveness, a hallmark of mature islets. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that an evolutionarily conserved region located approximately 40 kbp downstream of the transcription start site of Slc2a2 functioned as an active enhancer in the MIN6 β-cell line. [Journal of Molecular Endocrinology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the mechanism of dexamethasone-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis through the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) pathway in cultured cells and isolated mouse islets. [Journal of Molecular Endocrinology] |
|
|
|
| Gestating and non-gestating mice were used to evaluate the in vivo effect of oxytocin signal on β-cells during pregnancy. In vitro experiments were performed on INS-1 insulinoma cells. [Endocrine Connections] |
|
|
|
| Scientists conducted a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of pancreatic islets obtained from metabolically profiled pancreatectomized living human donors stratified along the glycemic continuum, from normoglycemia to type 2 diabetes. [Nature Metabolism] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers suggested that missense p53 mutations may have contributed to worse PDAC prognosis by promoting a more vigorous fibrotic tumor microenvironment and impeded the ability of the immune system to eliminate the cancer cells. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists screened multi-layer molecular data of 36 pancreatic cancer cell lines, including gene mutation, gene expression, miRNA expression, and protein profiles. [Molecular Therapy-Nucleic Acids] |
|
|
|
| Researchers detected the expression of interleukin‑28 receptor α subunit (IL‑28RA) in PDAC tissues using immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. [International Journal of Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Geranyl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-phenethylbenzoate (GDP), isolated from Boesenbergia pandurata rhizomes, exhibited potent preferential cytotoxicity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells under nutrition starvation conditions. [Chemistry & Biodiversity] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the prospects and challenges in the clinical development of pancreatic cancer therapeutics. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
