| Scientists investigated the fate of A+ cells during pair-feeding by lineage-tracing, somatically ablated aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 isoform A3 (ALHD1A3) in diabetic β-cells, and used a novel selective ALDH1A3 inhibitor to treat diabetes. [Nature Communications] |

|
|
| Investigators examined whether the administration of young and undamaged recombinant albumin could alleviate type 2 diabetes mellitus in mice. [Journal of Translational Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers leveraged a multilayered microfluidic approach to integrate a novel oxygen gradient, 0–20%, with an enhanced hydrogel sensor to study pancreatic beta cells. [Microsystems & Nanoengineering] |
|
|
|
| To examine the role of rowth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15) in β-cell function, bioinformatics analysis, and functional experiments involving GDF15 silencing and overexpression were performed in INS-1 cells and human islets. [Experimental Biology and Medicine] |
| |
|
|
| Scientists characterized the gene signature of tumor-associated nonmyelinating Schwann cells (TASc) in PDAC and indicated that the abundance of TASc was correlated with immune suppressive tumor microenvironment. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| To provide a deeper understanding of PDAC subtypes, the authors developed a multiplex immunofluorescence pipeline that quantified protein expression of six PDAC subtype markers and permitted spatially resolved, single-cell interrogation of pancreatic tumors. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used a genetic and a pharmacologic approach to target Arginase 1 (Arg1) in pancreatic cancer to investigate Arg1’s metabolic function. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Investigators found that gemcitabine elicited ERK-dependent autophagy in PDAC cells, but did not stimulate ERK activity or autophagy in non-tumoral human pancreatic epithelial cells. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| The authors described that gemcitabiner induced a senescent-like phenotype in highly chemoresistant pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in xenografted tumors in vivo. [Molecular Biomedicine] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists conduct a systemic retrospective analysis of proteins that have been identified by comparative proteomics to be involved in the invasion and metastasis of PDAC over the past decade. [Clinical and Translational Oncology] |

| Dr. Elmar Wolf, Professor at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, has been awarded a two million euro European Research Council Consolidator Grant for his research on the development of new therapies against pancreatic cancer. [Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg] |
