|
| Together with the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1), researchers reported that IL18 used the Na-Cl co-transporter and GLP1 receptors on β cells to trigger β cell development and insulin secretion. [Developmental Cell] |

|
| Pancreatic acinar cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide to induce the pancreatic cell damage, and mice were subjected to supramaximal cerulein stimulation to induce acute pancreatitis. [Cell & Bioscience] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported the molecular link between the increase in uncoupling protein expression in β-cells and β-cell failure by using genetically engineered mice and human islets. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Using human fetal pancreas samples and 3D differentiation of human pluripotent cells into pancreatic endocrine cells, the authors determined that SARS-CoV-2 receptors were expressed in precursors of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells, rendering them permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection. [iScience] |
| |
|
|
| The effect of E2F2 on the proliferation and cell cycling of pancreatic cancer cells was analyzed by tissue culture and flow cytometry. [Oncology Letters] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated GOT2-catalysed mitochondrial aspartate synthesis as an essential metabolic dependency for the proliferation of pancreatic tumor cells under hypoxic culture conditions. [Nature Metabolism] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors summarize the age-related alterations, adaptations, and/or failures of β-cells at the molecular, morphological, and functional levels in mouse and human. [Ageing Research Reviews] |
|
|
|
| A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the tumor-promoting roles of autophagy as well as of the consequences of autophagy inhibition is necessary for the development of autophagy inhibition-based therapies against PDAC. [Journal of Gastroenterology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists critically evaluate preclinical and clinical evidence on the application of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway targeting agents. [Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology] |

|
| BioKey has entered into a Clinical Development Service Agreement with Rgene to guide three Rgene drug products: RGC-1501 for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, RGC-1502 for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, and RGC 1503 for the treatment of colorectal cancer patients.
