| Researchers showed that hormonal FABP4 formed a functional hormone complex with adenosine kinase and nucleoside diphosphate kinase to regulate extracellular ATP and ADP levels. [Nature] |

|
| Scientists identified cyanidin-3-rutinoside’s (C3R) mechanisms of action in pancreatic β-cells. Rat INS-1 cells were used to elucidate the effects of C3R on insulin secretion, intracellular Ca2+ signaling, and gene expression. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that intra-islet glucagon secreted from α-cells signals through β-cell glucagon and GLP-1 receptors, thereby conferring to rat islets their competence to exhibit first phase glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. [Journal of Biological Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Investigators provided evidence that elevated levels of human SMO showed a strong correlation with elevated levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor and reduced survival in diffuse large B cell lymphoma. [Laboratory Investigation] |
|
|
|
| HK-2 cell viability and apoptosis were detected by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. β-amyrin was found to ameliorate kidney injury in diabetic nephropathy mice and suppressed inflammatory response as well as apoptosis of high glucose-stimulated HK-2 cells. [Environmental Toxicology] |

|
|
| Scientists identified and characterized resistance mechanisms to a FIRINOX chemotherapy regimen because it was the most aggressive regimen currently used clinically for patients with PDAC. [Science Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Using genetically defined models, researchers showed that histone deacetylase (HDAC2) was a cellular fitness factor that controls cell cycle in vitro and metastasis in vivo, particularly in undifferentiated, mesenchymal PDAC. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Synaptotagmin-8 (SYT8) is a membrane protein that regulates hormone secretion and neurotransmission, and its expression is positively regulated by the promoter of the insulin gene in pancreatic islet cells. The authors identified a previously unknown role of SYT8 in altering tumor characteristics in pancreatic cancer. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the function of miR-199 on gemcitabine-resistance in pancreatic cancer, as well as the underlying mechanism. [ACS Omega] |

|
| Weight loss-induced decrease of intra-pancreatic fat is tightly associated with remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its re-deposition with recurrence of the disease. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators describe mechanisms involved in insulin secretion as well as metabolic and mitogenic actions on its target tissues. [Peptides] |

| Trevena, Inc. announced it is advancing TRV045 into clinical development, following receipt of a notification from the US FDA that the study may proceed. [Trevena, Inc.] |
