| Scientists demonstrated that yeast-derived particulate β-glucan, an inducer of trained immunity, trafficked to the pancreas, which caused a CCR2-dependent influx of monocytes/macrophages to the pancreas that displayed features of trained immunity. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Using global stimulator of interferon genes (STING) knockout (STING−/−) and β-cell–specific STING knockout mouse models, scientists revealed a distinct role of STING in the regulation of glucose homeostasis through peripheral tissues and β-cells.

|
|
| Using four conditional cell lineage tracing murine models, researchers described the natural history of pancreatic islet cells, from once they express a hormone gene, until late in life. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that Mycl played a key role in proliferation of pancreatic endocrine cells. In vitro expression of Mycl provoked active replication in islet cells, even in those from aged mice. [Nature Metabolism] |

|
|
| Tumor-associated macrophages are abundant, and they are important mediators of disease progression and invasion. Scientists generated tumor-educated macrophages in vitro and performed detailed, multiomic characterization. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified normal epithelial cells in the tumor lesion of PDAC patients, which had euploid genomes, normal patterns of DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility. [Cell Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Panc-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells treated chronically with gemcitabine displayed increased transcription and expression of cancer stem cell-associated markers. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |
|
|
|
| Researchers proposed to construct an immune-related prognostic risk model based on immune-related genes MMP14 and INHBA expression that could assess the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients and identify potential therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer. [Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors examined differences in N-glycans, O-glycans, and glycosphingolipid glycans in PaTu-8955S (PaTu-S) cells upon TGF-β stimulation. [Journal of Biological Chemistry] |
|
|
|
| Scientists developed two quantifications methods to explore BRCA1 and RAD51C promoter methylation in a series of 121 Formalin Fixed-Paraffin-Embedded specimens from resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma without neoadjuvant treatment. [Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology] |

|
|
| The authors highlight potential adverse effects of accumulative combination, and further points out future direction in optimization of combination, including targeting post-translational modification of PD-(L)1 and improving precision of treatment.

|
| Zealand Pharma A/S announced completion of patient enrollment in the second Phase III-trial, 17103, of dasiglucagon for the treatment of CHI in neonates up to 12 months old. [Zealand Pharma, Inc. (GlobeNewswire, Inc.)] |
