    Pancreatic Regenerative Potential of Manuka Honey Evidenced through Pancreatic Histology and Levels of Transcription Factors in Diabetic Rat Model

    The authors explored the potential role of manuka honey in pancreatic regeneration in alloxan-induced diabetic rats by accessing the pancreatic histology and levels of relevant transcription factors, including MAFA, PDX-1, INS-1, INS-2, NEUROG3, NKX6-1, and NEUROD.

    The Functional Maturity of Grafted Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Derived-Islets (hSC-Islets) Evaluated by the Glycemic Set Point During Blood Glucose Normalizing Process in Diabetic Mice

    Scientists utilized two kinds of streptozotocin-induced diabetes model mice by changing the administration timing in order to examine the time course of maturation of hSC-islets and the effects of hyperglycemia on their maturation.

    Combination of RUNX1 Inhibitor and Gemcitabine Mitigates Chemo-Resistance in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma by Modulating BiP/PERK/eIF2α-Axis-Mediated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

    Investigators constructed the stably expressing cell lines with shRUNX1 and RUNX1, and successfully established Gemcitabine (GEM)-resistant cell line. The role of RUNX1 in GEM resistance was determined by CCK8 assay, plate colony formation assay and apoptosis analysis in vitro and in vivo.

    The CPT1A/Snail Axis Promotes Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Progression and Metastasis by Activating the Glycolytic Pathway

    Overexpression of CPT1A increased cell proliferation and promoted EMT and glycolytic metabolism in PAAD cells. Mechanistically, CPT1A was able to bind to Snail and facilitate PAAD progression by regulating Snail stability.

    The Inhibition of Pancreatic Cancer Progression by K-Ras-Overexpressing Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Secretomes

    Overexpression of K-Ras elevated PI3K signaling in MSCs, and K-Ras/PI3K-activated MSC-derived CM reduced the proliferation and migration of tumor cells, as well as the growth of ex vivo freshly isolated human PDAC cultures.

    Her Work Paved the Way for Blockbuster Obesity Drugs. Now, She’s Fighting for Recognition

    When Svetlana Mojsov heard the spring 2021 announcement, she was startled. The Canada Gairdner International Award, a prestigious biomedical research prize, would be bestowed on three scientists for work underpinning the diabetes and obesity drugs that have exploded in popularity in recent years. “I was really upset,” recalls Mojsov, a chemist at Rockefeller University.
