| Researchers identified ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) as a potential therapeutic target to combat gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer. [Gastroenterology] |

|
| Both global and β-cell-specific Thada-knockout mice exhibited improved glycemic control owing to enhanced β-cell function and decreased β-cell apoptosis. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| An experimental pancreatitis was induced in C57BL/6J, Ripk3-/- and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein-/- (Mlk-/-) mice by cerulein plus lipopolysaccharide in vivo, and primary pancreatic acinar cells were also isolated to uncover cellular mechanisms during cerulein stimulation in vitro. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| The authors explored the regulatory role of metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in gastrointestinal motility dysfunction following severe acute pancreatitis. [Molecular Immunology] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers leveraged a hyperactive p53 variant which was previously showed as a more robust PDAC suppressor than wild-type p53, to elucidate how p53 acted at the cellular level to dampen PDAC development. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |
|
|
|
| Scientists used a lineage-traced sporadic model of pancreatic cancer to generate a murine organoid biobank from primary and secondary tumors, including sublines that underwent partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and complete EMT. [Cell Death & Differentiation] |
|
|
|
| In primary and immortalized pancreatic cancer cells, shRNA-induced matrix remodeling associated 5 (MXRA5) silencing or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated MXRA5 knockout suppressed cell survival, proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, while provoking cell apoptosis. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Using the KrasG12D-based mouse model of human PDAC, investigators found that ablating Prdm16 did not block but instead accelerated PDAC formation and progression, suggesting that Prdm16 might function as a tumor suppressor in this malignancy. [Journal of Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists explored the role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox A (HNF1A) in oxaliplatin resistance in PDAC and revealed that HNF1A expression was negatively associated with oxaliplatin chemoresistance in PDAC tissues and cell lines. [International Journal of Oncology] |

|
| Investigators review the most current findings on the role of hypoxia and HGF/c-MET expression in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. [Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Reviews On Cancer] |

| TransCode Therapeutics, Inc. announced that it has received Orphan Drug Designation from the US FDA for its lead therapeutic candidate, TTX-MC138, in pancreatic cancer. [TransCode Therapeutics, Inc.] |
