miR-194-5p Down-Regulates Tumor Cell PD-L1 Expression and Promotes Anti-tumor Immunity in Pancreatic Cancer

Investigators found that high expression of miR-194-5p in human pancreatic cancer patients is associated with a better survival rate, while increased expression of programmed cell death ligand 1 in human pancreatic cancer patients is associated with a worse survival rate.

Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer Using DNA-Based Molecular Approaches

Investigators discuss and focus on the pathological and molecular features of precancerous lesions of the pancreas, including pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and mucinous cystic neoplasm, which are target lesions of early detection approaches.

Exploring the Complementarity of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Preclinical Models

Three paired pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma preclinical models-patient-derived xenografts , xenograft-derived pancreatic organoids and xenograft-derived primary cell cultures-were derived from 20 patients and analyzed at the transcriptomic and chemosensitivity level.
