Lannett Company, Lanexa Biologics and Sunshine Lake Pharma announce FDA Approval of LANGLARA™ an Interchangeable Biosimilar of Lantus® (insulin glargine)

[Lannett Company, Inc. (Business Wire)] Lannett Company, Inc., Lanexa Biologics, and Sunshine Lake Pharma announced that the US FDA has approved LANGLARA™ (insulin glargine-aldy), as a biosimilar to Lantus® (insulin glargine), for the treatment of adults and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Sonire Therapeutics Initiates First US Clinical Study of Ultrasound-Guided HIFU Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer

[ Sonire Therapeutics] Sonire Therapeutics announced the initiation of its first US clinical trial, SUNRISE-II, evaluating its proprietary High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) therapy system for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

GLP-1R-GIPR-PPARα/γ/δ Quintuple Agonism Corrects Obesity and Diabetes in Mice

[Nature] Scientists reported the design and preclinical evaluation of a unimolecular quintuple agonist, which via covalent binding of Lani to a GLP-1R–GIPR co-agonist allows for its targeted delivery into cells that express the receptor for GLP-1 or GIP.

Epigenetic Adaptation of Beta Cells across Lifespan and Disease

[Nature Metabolism] Researchers showed the mapping of genome-wide DNA methylation patterns and the epigenomic basis of beta cell adaptations by leveraging cell-type-specific methylome data from the Human Pancreas Analysis Program.

Cell-Specific DNA Methylation in Human Alpha and Beta Cells Regulates Gene Expression in Type 2 Diabetes

[Nature Metabolism] Scientists showed changes to alpha and beta cell-specific methylomes and transcriptomes from people with or without type 2 diabetes, using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA sequencing.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Regulate DNA Repair in Pancreatic Cancer through NDRG1-Mediated R-Loop Processing

[Nature Cell Biology] Researchers showed an unexpected link between cancer-associated fibroblast-secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and enhanced DNA repair. They identified N-myc downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) as a key mediator that senses signals from the ECM via adhesion receptors and serum and glucocorticoid-activated kinase.

The Circadian Gene Dec2 Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Progression and Dormancy through Immune Evasion

[Developmental Cell] Using a mouse model of resectable PDAC, investigators identified an unknown role of the circadian rhythm gene Differentially Expressed in Chondrocytes 2 (Dec2) in regulating tumor progression and dormancy.

KRAS Signaling Inhibition Induces a Targetable Metabolic Dependency on Lipophagy-Dependent Fatty Acid Oxidation in Pancreatic Cancer

[Cancer Research] Researchers explored metabolic vulnerabilities of PDAC by assessing initial metabolic reprogramming upon ERK inhibition using metabolomics, lipidomics, and isotope-tracing experiments.

Mitochondrial Double-Stranded RNA Fuels Pancreatic Cancer Growth via RIG-I/TLR3 Inflammation

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Investigators reported that patients with PDAC with reduced levels of the mitochondrial scaffold, Mic60, or inner mitochondrial membrane protein, exhibit increased inflammation, high NFκB activity and production of TNFα.

Fra-2 Controls the Response to the KRAS Inhibitor MRTX-1133 in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] Scientists identified Fos-related antigen-2 (Fra-2), a stress-responsive transcription factor of the AP-1 family, as a key mediator of adaptive resistance to the KRASG12D selective inhibitor MRTX-1133.

Neuroprotective Strategies for Cognitive Decline in Type 2 Diabetes

[Trends In Endocrinology and Metabolism] The authors propose a conceptual shift in type 2 diabetes management in which cognitive preservation becomes an explicit therapeutic objective, integrating metabolic control with targeted brain-protective approaches.

Circulating Extracellular Vesicle Long RNA Profiling Combined with Machine Learning Unveils Novel Diagnostic Signature and Molecular Features in Chronic Pancreatitis

[Gut] Researchers constructed a diagnostic model for chronic pancreatitis (CP) and depicted molecular landscape of CP based on extracellular vesicle long RNA.
