| Scientists revealed forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) as a key transcription factor for autonomous cold adaptation. Promoting FOXO1 nuclear entry enhanced cold tolerance in pre-diabetic obese mice, and greatly prolonged the shelf-life of human and mouse pancreatic tissues and islets. [Nature Communications] |

| Researchers performed ex vivo glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and insulin content assays in islets of 213 mice from 13 inbred mouse strains on chow, western diet, and ketogenic diet. [American Journal Of Physiology-Endocrinology And Metabolism] |

|
| Investigators showed that ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2F (UBE2F) was essential for the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells with KRAS mutations. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the role of MUC1, a mucin protein overexpressed in pancreatic cancer, in regulating polyamine metabolism. [Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences Of The United States Of America] |

|
|
| By screening anticancer metabolic compounds, the authors identified an inhibitor of lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A, which dramatically decreased the growth of PDAC and showed an anti-tumoral effect in tumor-bearing mice. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Investigators explored the role of interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. Their data indicated that IFIT1 increased pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. [Cellular Oncology] |

|
| The authors highlight the complex nature of diabetes mellitus, and explore the multifaceted role of the Fabkin complex in glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, anti-inflammation, beta cell proliferation, and vascular function. [Biochemical Pharmacology] |
