    TOP STORY

    Wnt4 Is Heterogeneously Activated in Maturing β-Cells to Control Calcium Signaling, Metabolism, and Function

    Investigators identified the importance of signaling between β-cells via the extracellular signal WNT4. They showed heterogeneity in Wnt4 expression, most strikingly in the postnatal maturation period, Wnt4-positive cells, being more mature while Wnt4-negative cells were more proliferative.

    The Purine Metabolite Inosine Monophosphate Accelerates Myelopoiesis and Acute Pancreatitis Progression

    Researchers showed that inosine monophosphate treatment stimulateD cKit expression, ribosomal S6 activation, granulocyte/monocyte progenitor proliferation, and Gr-1+ granulocyte production in vitro.

    CODA: Quantitative 3D Reconstruction of Large Tissues at Cellular Resolution

    The authors assessed the microanatomy of the human pancreas during tumorigenesis within the branching pancreatic ductal system, labeling ten distinct structures to examine heterogeneity and structural transformation during neoplastic progression.

    Abstract

    PD-L1-Directed PlGF/VEGF Blockade Synergizes with Chemotherapy by Targeting CD141+ Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts in Pancreatic Cancer

    Researchers revealed that chemotherapy upregulated placental growth factor, which directly activated cancer-associated fibroblasts to induce fibrosis-associated collagen deposition in PDAC.

    Fusobacterium nucleatum Induces Proliferation and Migration in Pancreatic Cancer Cells through Host Autocrine and Paracrine Signaling

    Scientists found that F. nucleatum infection induced both normal pancreatic epithelial cells and PDAC cells to secrete increased amounts of the cytokines GM-CSF, CXCL1, IL-8, and MIP-3α.

    Abstract

    Hernandezine Induces Autophagic Cell Death in Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Activation of the ROS/AMPK Signaling Pathway

    Scientists showed that Hernandezine dose-dependently suppressed cell proliferation, promoted autophagy, and induced autophagic death in PDAC cell lines Capan-1 and SW1990.

    Rerouting the Drug Response: Overcoming Metabolic Adaptation in KRAS-Mutant Cancers

    The authors discuss the metabolic pathways that are altered in response to treatment and those that can, in turn, alter treatment efficacy, as well as the role of metabolism in the tumor microenvironment in dictating the therapeutic response in KRAS-driven cancers.

    Abstract

    Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

    Investigators review the origins and functional diversity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and show how they create a tumour-promoting milieu, focusing on the crosstalk between CAFs, tumor cells, and immune cells in the tumour microenvironment.
