| Scientists showed that Lin28b/let-7 pathway was indispensable for modulating the expression of Wnt5a in tumor epithelium, which could be secreted and then up-regulated Lin28b in cancer-associated fibroblasts. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Investigators evaluated the safety and efficacy of automated insulin delivery with the iLet bionic pancreas in adults with cystic fibrosis–related diabetes in a single-center, open-label, random-order, crossover trial. [Diabetes Care] |
|
|
|
| Researchers’ analysis in a mouse model revealed that β cells of multiparous mice lost their proliferative capacity and became unable to compensate for the increasing insulin demand, leading to hyperglycemia. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The authors fabricated oxygen release biomaterials and developed an oxygenated scaffold culture platform to offer a better oxygen supply during 3D iPSC pancreatic differentiation. [Advanced Healthcare Materials] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in pancreatic necrosis in acute pancreatitis (AP). The roles of healthy human-derived HDL and apoA-I mimic peptide D4F were demonstrated in AP models in vivo and in vitro. [International Immunopharmacology] |
|
|
|
| MMP assay and western blot was conducted to investigate the effects of atorvastatin on apoptotic cascade with sesamol as a protective agent was conducted in MIN-6 cells. [3 Biotech] |
| |
|
|
| The authors synthesized a novel pro-drug of triptolide which was formulated into an emulsion for in vitro and in vivo testing in rats and mice, and using human pancreatic cancer cell lines and patient-derived pancreatic tumor organoids. [eLife] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the effect of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) protein in PDAC survival. They did so by comparing the associaton between circulating Ang-2 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the pancreatic tumor expression of Ang-2 using immunohistochemistry. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that cell surface GRP78-directed chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells effectively killed the human pancreatic cancer cell lines, and pancreatic cancer stem-like cells in vitro by a luciferase-based cytotoxicity assay. [Translational Oncology] |
|
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize the current information about dysregulation of splicing-related elements and aberrant splicing isoforms in PDAC, and describe their relationship with the development, progression, and/or aggressiveness of this dismal cancer.

|
| City of Hope® and TGen are leading an international group that has been awarded $4.5 million to validate a liquid biopsy for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. [City of Hope] |
|
|
|
| A new experimental approach to treating pancreatic cancer is progressing to the next step in making it available to more patients. After results from a small study, a phase II clinical trial has now opened to test the effectiveness of using an mRNA vaccine to fight one of the deadliest cancers.
