| The authors showed that matrix-metalloprotease-cleaved type I collagen (Col I) and intact Col I exerted opposing effects on PDAC bioenergetics, macropinocytosis, tumour growth and metastasis. [Nature] |

|
| Scientists studied whether PPP3/calcineurin inhibitors could affect the mitophagy of pancreatic β-cells and pancreatic β-cell function by employing FK506, an immunosuppressive drug against graft rejection. [Autophagy] |

|
|
| Researchers described the involvement of the RNA binding protein hnRNPA2B1 in the development of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTGP). They used palmitic acid and AR42J cells to create a model of HTGP in vitro. [Cell Death & Disease] |

|
| MRTX1133 exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of KRAS-mediated signal transduction and marked tumor regression in a subset of KRASG12D-mutant cell-line-derived and patient-derived xenograft models, including eight of 11 PDAC models. [Nature Medicine] |

|
| Gemcitabine significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2) in pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, ERAP2 knockdown suppressed tumorigenesis and potentiated gemcitabine-induced growth, migration and invasion inhibition in human pancreatic cancer cells. [Aging] |
|
|
|
| Scientists provided evidence of a SMAD2/3 oncogenic effect in response to TGF-β1 in SMAD4-null human PDAC cancer cells, reporting that inactivation of SMAD2/3 in SMAD4-negative PDAC cells compromised TGF-β-driven collective migration mediated by FAK and Rho/Rac signaling.

|
| Investigators summarize the state of human pluripotent stem cell differentiation approaches to generate cell types and tissues relevant to type 1 diabetes with a particular focus on pancreatic islet cells, T cells, and thymic epithelium. [Molecular Metabolism] |

|
| Researchers have begun recruiting volunteers for a clinical trial to study the effectiveness of a combination therapy for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer and who have had no prior chemotherapy or radiation may be eligible for the study. [Baylor College of Medicine] |
