|
| Scientists assessed the roles of GRP75, other than as a component, in insulin action in both in vitro and in vivo models with insulin resistance. [Diabetes] |
|
|
|
| The authors isolated pancreatic islets from adult male wistar rats and identified pancreatic β-cells by the cell size, capacitance and membrane potential. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |
|
|
|
| Scientists analyzed stage-specific RNA-, ChIP-, and ATAC-sequencing data to dissect transcriptional and regulatory mechanisms during pancreatic development. [Communications Biology] |
| |
|
|
| The authors identified the prognostic significance and therapeutic options of metabolic subtypes of resectable pancreatic cancer. [Cellular Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators ectopically expressed α1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (α4GnT), the α1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic enzyme, together with MUC6 in the human pancreatic cancer cell lines MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1, neither of which expressed α4GnT and MUC6. [Cancer Science] |
|
|
|
| Lutein is a natural compound that belongs to the non-vitamin A carotenoids family and has presented antitumor effects on multiple cancer types. The authors explored the role of lutein in pancreatic adenocarcinoma progression. [Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists examined the expression of miR‑190b in pancreatic cancer cell lines and tissues and evaluated its effects on cancer progression. [Oncology Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers knocked down XRCC1 expression by using pLVX-shXRCC1 in the MiaPaCa2 cells and BxPC3 cells and evaluated β-lapachone-induced DNA lesions by γH2AX foci formation and alkaline comet assay. [BMC Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Secretome analysis was performed in pancreatic cancer stem cell-enriched spheres and control adherent cells for biomarker discovery. [BMC Cancer] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists review current knowledge of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma evolution and heterogeneity, gained from the study of preclinical models and patient biospecimens. [Nature Reviews Cancer] |
