|
| Investigators evaluated associations between 11 circulating cytokines and hormones with T2D among a population of sub-Saharan Africans and tested for causal relationships using Mendelian randomization analyses. [Genome Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Scientists identified the changes in hypothalamic gene and protein expression that underlie impaired counterregulatory response (CRR) in a mouse model of defective CRR. [Diabetologia] |
|
|
|
| Researchers used experimental and computational techniques to investigate the relationship between functional networks, structural networks, and intrinsic -cell dynamics in slow and fast oscillating islets. [eLife] |

|
|
| The authors identified c-FOXP3+E-cadherin– epithelial cells in human pancreatic cancer tissues after radical resection by immunofluorescence co-staining. [American Journal Of Physiology-Cell Physiology] |

|
| Non-obese diabetic mice were administrated with urolithin C (UC) to evaluate UC-mediated protection of type 1 diabetes. The inflammation of the pancreas islets was examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining. [Nutrition & Diabetes] |

|
|
| Investigators conducted targeted metabolomic analyses to detect bile acids changes in patients during the acute and the recovery phases of acute pancreatitis, as well as in healthy controls. [Cell Reports Medicine] |

|
| This study included 234 consecutively identified patients with germline BRCA PVs and a diagnosis of PDAC. Of patients with BRCA1, 33 of 69 were males with a median age of 63 years. Of patients with BRCA2, 84 of 165 were males, and the median age was 64 years. [Jama Network Open] |

|
| The authors elucidated the function of the nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A, member 2 (NR5A2) in the context of pancreatic cancer stem cells. [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research] |
|
|
|
| Researchers utilized proteomics as a valuable approach for cancer biomarker discovery; therefore, mass spectrometry-based proteomic profiling was conducted on plasma samples from 12 subjects to identify potential proteins capable of effectively distinguishing PanNET from healthy controls.

|
|
|
| Scientists provide an overview of the clinical evidence regarding disease staging, preoperative therapy, response evaluation and surgery in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer or locally advanced pancreatic cancer. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators discuss conflicting views of the relationship between pancreatic α-cells and β-cells and seek to understand how communication depends on blood flow and/or paracrine mechanisms. [Diabetes] |

| The Baker Centre for Pancreatic Cancer at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) opened in 2019 as part of the vision of Rick and Shelley Baker. They generously donated $1.5 million to support pancreatic cancer care and research in the London region after Rick was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. [London Health Sciences Centre] |

| PhD student Jasmine Maghera, who was diagnosed with T1D when she was 11, remembers being told that five years from her diagnosis she wouldn’t need to take insulin anymore: technology would make injecting insulin obsolete. Now Maghera’s goal is to create and share that technology. [University of Alberta] |
