|
| Researchers reported the identification of two RNA aptamers that specifically and selectively recognized mouse and human β cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors assessed the effects of short-term 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol stimulation on insulin secretion in both ex vivo and in INS-1E rat-derived cells in vitro. [Journal of Pharmacological Sciences] |
| |
|
|
| Investigators systematically dissected PDAC intrinsic mechanisms of immune evasion by in vitro and in vivo CRISPR screening, and identified Vps4b and Rnf31 as essential factors required for escaping CD8+ T cell killing. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists determined if patient-derived organoids (PDOs) could be used to personalize poly-chemotherapy regimens by pharmacotyping of treatment-naïve and post neoadjuvant chemotherapy PDAC PDOs. [Journal of Pathology] |
|
|
|
| The authors developed a tumor-chip device engineered to mimic the PDAC tumor microenvironment by incorporating patient-derived organoids and stromal cells, specifically pancreatic stellate cells and macrophages. [Microsystems & Nanoengineering] |
|
|
|
| Researchers evaluated and confirmed the promising anti-tumor activity of olean-28,13β-lactam (B28) in vitro. RNA-seq profile indicated that multiple metabolic pathways were interrupted in B28 treated pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. [Cancer Cell International] |
|
|
|
| Cell viability assay revealed that apiin, rhoifolin, and vitexin could inhibit proliferation of PANC-1 and ASPC-1, with rhoifolin showing the maximum inhibitory effect. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the molecular mechanisms of zinc‑finger protein 217 in pancreatic carcinoma progression. [Molecular Medicine Reports] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors highlight the importance of studying pancreatic β-cell expansion and functional maturation signaling pathways and epigenetic programs to understand the causes of different forms of diabetes and to permit the design of novel therapeutic strategies. [Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss the contributions of external, intrinsic, and paracrine factors in pancreatic β-, α-, and δ-cell secretion across the full spectrum of physiological and pathophysiological environments. [American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism] |

|
| AVM Biotechnology, LLC, announced that it has been awarded a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant which will allow the company to pursue additional research in the use of AVM0703 as a monotherapy and combination therapy to reverse recent onset and established Type 1 Diabetes. [AVM Biotechnology, LLC] |
