| In this Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, scientists assigned patients with type 1 diabetes diagnosed during the previous 100 days to receive baricitinib or matched placebo orally for 48 weeks. [New England Journal Of Medicine] |

|
| Researchers showed that the induction of neovascularization via temporary controlled inflammation through the implantation of a nylon catheter could be used to create a subcutaneous cavity that supported the transplantation and optimal function of a geometrically matching islet-encapsulation device. [Nature Biomedical Engineering] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated a novel autocrine mechanism of β cell maintenance and function that was mediated by the peptide–amino acid transporter axis. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed a method for selective genetic targeting of human α cells and assessed RFX6-dependent α cell function. [Diabetes] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers highlighted the important roles of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor 40 (BHLHE40)-mediated lipid peroxidation in inducing ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer (PCa) cells and provided a novel mechanism underlying sterol regulatory element-binding factor 1 (SREBF1) overexpression in PCa. [Advanced Science] |

|
|
| Investigators comprehensively unraveled the intra-patient response heterogeneity and intrinsic aggressive nature of PDAC on bulk and single-organoid resolution. [NPJ Precision Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists tested the impact of basement membrane extract source on proliferation, drug response, and gene expression in mouse and human PDAC organoids. [JCI Insight] |
|
|
|
| The authors showed that SMAD4 status almost determined the orientation of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition via the SMAD4-dependent canonical pathway in PDAC, which altered ferroptosis vulnerability. [Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] |
|
|
|
| Scientists discovered that miR-211-5p was a significantly downregulated miRNA in pancreatic cancer tissues compared to adjacent non-tumor tissues. [Aging] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors detail the pancreatic expression of protein kinase D enzymes in normal individuals and pancreatitis and PDAC patients, as well as in mouse and rat animal models for these diseases. [Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Molecular Cell Research] |

|
| Some researchers publish a new paper every five days, on average. Data trackers suspect not all their manuscripts were produced through honest labor. [Nature] |
