| Scientists demonstrated a targetable role of MAP kinase-interacting serine/threonine kinase 2 (MNK2)-controlled translation in β-cell regeneration, a role that warrants further investigation in diabetes. [Nature Chemical Biology] |

|
|
| Divergence in the metabolic fingerprints of rat pancreatic INS-1 β-cells were systematically captured with regard to ten individual essential amino acid availability. [Scientific Data] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that oxidative stress-driven reduced/oxidized glutathione loss and proteasomal degradation of glutathione peroxidase 4 promoted ferroptotic-like cell damage through increased lipid peroxidation. [Translational Research] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the effects of glucagon receptor antagonism on β-cell neogenesis in type 2 diabetic mice, and explored the origins of the neogenic β-cells. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators determined the mechanism by which the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor, luseogliflozin, preserved pancreatic beta-cell mass and function in db/db mice. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Leveraging in silico, in vitro, and in vivo models of human and murine PDAC, researchers discovered a novel intersection between KRAS-TP53 co-altered transcriptomes, TP63-defined squamous trans-differentiation, and myeloid-cell migration into the tumor microenvironment. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Scientists examined the essential role and molecular mechanisms of laminin-5 gamma-2 in the tumorigenesis of PDAC. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported monolayer cancer cell models wherein the human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell line H2228 and pancreatic cancer cell line AsPC-1 could be reversibly induced to a quiescent state under hypoxic and serum-starved conditions. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that allosteric inhibitors of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (mIDH1) were potent wild-type IDH1 inhibitors under conditions present in the tumor microenvironment. [Nature Cancer] |
|
|
|
|
| The identification of potential and clinically applicable biomarker is momentous to improve the overall survival rate and positively ameliorate the prognosis of patients with pancreatic carcinoma. [Cell Death Discovery] |

|
| Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the US FDA has granted orphan drug designation to tegoprubart for the prevention of allograft rejection in pancreatic islet cell transplantation. [Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.] |

|
| Three grants awarded to Monash University researchers total more than $11.7 million and cover critical health issues including diabetes, antimicrobial resistance, epilepsy, and intensive care. [Monash University] |
