    MASTL Regulates EGFR Signaling to Impact Pancreatic Cancer Progression

    Based on a comprehensive investigation involving pancreatic cancer (PC) patient samples, murine models of PC progression, and loss and gain of function studies, investigators reported a previously undescribed critical role of microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase-like (MASTL) in promoting cancer malignancy and therapy resistance.

    Abstract

    Oncogene APOL1 Promotes Proliferation and Inhibits Apoptosis via Activating NOTCH1 Signaling Pathway in Pancreatic Cancer

    Scientists identified APOL1 was abnormally elevated in human pancreatic cancer tissues compared with that in adjacent tissues and was associated with poor prognosis.
