| Investigators treated 25 patients, 20 pancreatic and five colorectal, who were positive for minimal residual mKRAS disease after locoregional treatment in a Phase I study of fixed-dose Amph-Peptides-2P and ascending-dose Amph-CpG-7909. [Nature Medicine] |

|
| The authors showed that transient stimulation of exocrine cells, derived from juvenile and adult type 1 diabetes donors to the FDA-approved EZH2 inhibitors GSK126 and Tazemetostat influenced a phenotypic shift towards a β-like cell identity. [Signal Transduction And Targeted Therapy] |

|
| HOMA2 was used to estimate insulin sensitivity and fasting β-cell function at baseline and one, three, and five years on treatment. [Diabetes Care] |

|
|
| Stem cell derived beta cell clusters (SC-β) cells were resized into small clusters, encapsulated in alginate spheres, and coated with a biocompatible A10 polycation coating that resists fibrosis. [Small] |

| The majority of adult pig islet grafts transplanted in non-immunosuppressed nonhuman primates resulted in xenograft survival >100 days. [Science Advances] |
| |
|
|
| Using an immune lipoplex nanoparticle biochip assay, scientists showed that glypican 1 (GPC1) mRNA expression in the exosomes-rich extracellular vesicle (EV) subpopulation and GPC1 membrane protein expression in the microvesicles-rich EV subpopulation, served as a viable biomarker for PDAC.

|
|
| Investigators found that RING finger 43 (RNF43)-mutated pancreatic cancer cells exhibited elevated B-RAF/MEK activity and were highly sensitive to MEK inhibitors. [Advanced Science] |
|
|
|
| Researchers identified an upregulation of lncRNA FOXD1-AS1 in cancer stem cells (CSCs). The enforced expression of lncRNA FOXD1-AS1 promotes tumorigenesis and self-renewal in pancreatic cancer CSCs. [Cancer Cell International] |

|
|
| The authors summarize the latest developments in bioengineering functional islet organoids in vitro and promoting vascularization of organoid grafts before and after transplantation. [Metabolism Clinical And Experimental] |
