    Cytidine Deaminases APOBEC3C and APOBEC3D Promote DNA Replication Stress Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

    To define the cancer cell response to gemcitabine, researchers performed genome-scale CRISPR–Cas9 chemical–genetic screens in PDAC cells and found selective loss of cell fitness upon disruption of the cytidine deaminases APOBEC3C and APOBEC3D.

    Abstract

    Exosomal lncRNA XIST Promotes Perineural Invasion of Pancreatic Cancer Cells via miR-211-5p/GDNF

    Scientists revealed that exosomal lncXIST derived from pancreatic cancer cells was delivered to neural cells and promoted their release of glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor.

    Abstract

    tiRNA-Val-CAC-2 Interacts with FUBP1 to Promote Pancreatic Cancer Metastasis by Activating c-MYC Transcription

    Investigators screened and identified tiRNA-Val-CAC-2 as highly expressed in pancreatic cancer metastasis samples by transfer RNA-derived small RNA sequencing.

    Role of β-Cell Autophagy in β-Cell Physiology and the Development of Diabetes

    The results from studies on the role of autophagy in β-cells and their implication in the development of diabetes as well as the role and mechanisms of non-selective (macro)autophagy, selective autophagy, and other minor forms of autophagy that might occur in β-cells are discussed.
