|
| Researchers uncovered a mechanism of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase expression in the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis transition, which was mediated by a nuclear mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase-1 (MKP1)/p38 MAPK-LKB1 axis. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists integrated single-cell transcriptome, single-nuclei chromatin accessibility, and cell-type specific 3D genome profiles from human islets and identified type II diabetes-associated β-cell heterogeneity at both transcriptomic and epigenomic levels. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators evaluated the in vitro differentiation potential of human omentum-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured on an fibroblast growth factor 2-immobilized matrix and a round-bottom plate. Further, the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the β-cells transplanted into kidney capsules was evaluated. [Biomaterials Research] |
|
|
|
| The lacto-ghrestatin derived nonapeptide, a bioactive peptide derived from lacto-ghrestatin in bovine milk with the sequence of LIVTQTMKG, was investigated to determine its effects on islet β-cell dedifferentiation and associated mechanisms in type 2 diabetes mellitus. [Food & Function] |

|
|
| Researchers hypothesized that disrupting the pH landscape during PDAC progression triggered pancreatic stellate cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts to induce PDAC fibrosis. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| Investigators determined that the ST6GAL1 sialyltransferase, which adds α2,6-linked sialic acids to N-glycosylated proteins, was upregulated in patients with early-stage PDAC, and further increased in advanced disease. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated siRNA-mediated knockdown effects of sine oculis homeobox 4 (SIX4) on pancreatic cancer cells and underlying molecular mechanisms. [Medical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the functional role of cyclin-dependent kinase subunit 2 in pancreatic cancer (PC). An analysis of abnormally expressed genes and their prognostic value for PC was performed by using the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis database and performing immunohistochemical staining.

|
| The authors summarize the botanical characterization, traditional use, chemical constituents, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology of mulberry leaves, and highlight the mechanisms involved in treating diabetes mellitus and its complications. [American Journal Of Chinese Medicine] |

|
| Ten years ago, a tech-savvy group of people with type 1 diabetes decided to pursue a DIY approach to their own treatment. They knew that a fairly straightforward piece of software could make their lives much easier, but no companies were developing it quickly enough. [Nature News] |
