|
| Scientists demonstrated that GSK126, a highly selective inhibitor of EZH2 methyltransferase activity influenced H3K27me3 chromatin content and transcriptional control resulting in the expression of core β-cell markers and ductal progenitor genes. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |

|
|
| Researchers characterized the bidirectional paracrine cross-talk by which α and β cells communicated to mediate the effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, liraglutide. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that β-cell-specific Piezo1 -knockout mice showed impaired glucose tolerance in vivo and reduced glucose-induced insulin secretion, β-cell electrical activity and Ca2+ elevation in vitro. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Functional experiments on ex vivo cultured pancreatic explants indicated that tip cell-produced bone morphogenetic protein 7 limited development of endothelial cells. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Scientists reported that knocking down glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) impeded pancreatic cancer metastasis, whereas forced G6PD expression promoted it. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that depletion of O-GlcNAcylation reduced malate dehydrogenase 1 activity, impaired glutamine metabolism, sensitized PDAC cells to oxidative stress, decreased cell proliferation and inhibits tumor growth in nude mice. [Nature Chemical Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that thiostrepton reduced the viability and clonogenesis of pancreatic cancer cell lines, along with intracellular iron overload, increasing reactive oxygen species accumulation, malondialdehyde overexpression, and glutathione peroxidase depletion. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that Protocadherin 1 (PCDH1) expression was upregulated in PDAC tissues, and its expression levels were associated with the depth of tumour invasion and lymph node metastasis. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| The expression of Frizzled receptor 7 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and relating survival rate were analyzed by bioinformatics, histochemistry assay and follow-up study. [Molecular Medicine] |
| |
|
|
|
| The molecular circuit of the glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in β-cells is described with emphasis on intermediates which are targetable for optical intervention. [Molecular Metabolism] |

|
| Propanc Biopharma, Inc. announced that successful production of a synthetic recombinant version of the proenzyme trypsinogen was completed via the Proenzyme Optimization Project 1 oint research and drug discovery program. [Propanc Biopharma, Inc.] |
