|
| Mutation of the endogenous NKX2.2- specific domain prevented the developmental progression of β cell precursors into mature, insulin-expressing β cells, resulting in overt neonatal diabetes. [Genes & Development] |
|
|
|
| Pancreatic beta cell-specific Cpe knockout mice (βCpeKO) lacked mature insulin granules and had elevated proinsulin in plasma; however, glucose-and KCl-stimulated insulin secretion in βCpeKO islets remained intact. [Diabetes] |
|
|
|
| Researchers designed a combinatorial variant antibody library to optimize the activity of TB-001-003 against glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R), and performed phage-display on cells overexpressing GLP-1R. [Diabetes] |
|
|
|
| Scientists examined the potency of both palmitoleic acid (POA) isomers to potentiate insulin secretion in murine and human pancreatic β cell lines, and whether POA isomers activated G protein-coupled receptors proposed as potential targets for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment.

|
|
| In a caerulein-induced mouse model of acute pancreatitis, treatment with Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) reduced blood amylase and lipase activity and ameliorated pancreatic tissue histological and pathological features. [International Immunopharmacology] |
|
|
|
| | The combination of irreversible electroporation and a custom micelle nanoformulation significantly prolonged animal survival in both subcutaneous and orthotopic murine PDAC models, and elicited CD8+ T cell-mediated antitumor immunity with a sustained antitumor memory. [ACS Nano] |
|
|
|
| Investigators identified NFIC as a NR5A2 interactor and regulator of acinar differentiation. NFIC binding sites were enriched in NR5A2 ChIP-Sequencing peaks. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Circular RNA ARFGEF2 (CircARFGEF2) overexpression significantly facilitated KRASG12D PDAC lymph node metastasis in vitro and in vivo. [Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| The function of nucleolar and spindle associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) in PDAC progression was clarified by single-cell RNA-seq and further experiments in vitro, xenograft mouse model, spontaneous PDAC mice model, and human tissue microarray. [Cancer Letters] |

|
|
|
| The authors summarize experiences since the discovery of glucagon regarding basic and clinical aspects of this hormone and speculations on the future directions for glucagon biology and glucagon-based therapies. [Diabetologia] |
|
|
|
|
| A combination strategy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation with chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer will be studied at UTHealth Houston through a $3.3 million grant from the National Cancer Institute by the US Department of Health and Human Services. [McGovern Medical School] |
