|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that Tentonin 3/TMEM150C, a mechanosensitive channel, contributed to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by mediating cation influx. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors found that the RIIB subunit of protein kinase A was expressed specifically by β cells of mouse and human islets. [FEBS Journal] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers showed that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi transfer of vesicular cargo proteins required WFS1, an ER-associated membrane protein whose loss of function led to Wolfram syndrome. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| It was observed that poly(2-oxazoline)-based polymeric micelles could be elongated over time from a spherical structure to worm-like structure, with elongation influenced by several conditions, including the amount and type of drug loaded into the micelles. [Small] |
|
|
|
| Pharmacologic inhibition of CHK1 alone caused apoptotic growth suppression of both PDAC cell lines and organoids, which correlated with loss of MYC expression. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors identified that glutamine limitation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells suppressed de novo hexosamine synthesis but resulted in increased free GlcNAc abundance. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified that lysyl oxidase-like 2 was a hypoxia-responsive gene and was essential for the Warburg effect in PDAC. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers analyzed the alteration of collagen and gene expression profiles in pancreatic cancer tissues after neoadjuvant therapy. They examined the biological role of Ephrin-A5 using primary cultured cancer-associated fibroblasts. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that Akr1c19 expression was dramatically decreased in db/db islets. [PLoS One] |
|
|
|
| MLKL inhibitor NSA attenuated the killing effect of IMB5036 on pancreatic cancer cells. IMB5036 stimulated translocation of MLKL and p-MLKL from cytoplasm to cell membrane. [Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology] |
|
|
|
|
| Cell-free DNA biomarkers indicate accelerated progression and decreased survival in PDAC. [Critical Reviews in Oncology Hematology] |
|
|
|
| Regeneration proceedings for pancreatic β cells are promising and could improve β-cell proliferation capacity and contribute to the conservation of mature β-cell phenotypic characteristics. [Endocrine] |
|

|
|
| The Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University and The Russell Berrie Foundation announced a new $75 million, comprehensive 10-year program to help transform diabetes care, with the simultaneous goal of spurring innovations in diabetes treatment and prevention that can be applied around the world. [The Jerusalem Post] |
|
|
|
| The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine governing board approved a $4.1 million grant to enable University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers to advance a new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy from the laboratory into the clinic. [Technology Networks] |
