Communication between epithelial and mesenchymal cells in pancreatic cancer leads to a poor prognosis. The molecular basis ...

Exercise is known for the positive effects on metabolic diseases, partly because of the release of circulating extracellular ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied pancreatic islet cell loss in people with no previous pancreatic problems. They identified key trends in the types of cells ...

Image of a what is targeted with radiation. Red represents the pancreatic tumor, which is contacting with a major nearby ...

UNLV scientists successfully introduced nanoparticles with messenger RNA into the pancreas for the first time with 99% accuracy.

Using targeted radiation during surgery - referred to as intraoperative radiation - to eliminate pancreatic cancer cells that have spread to areas around the pancreas, investigators at Johns Hopkins ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer. This is largely due to the cancer being detected at a late stage. In addition, treatment options for pancreatic cancer are limited. Therefore ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic “marks” in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

Researchers have combined a drug that’s normally used to treat cancer with a naturally derived anti-inflammatory to stimulate pancreatic stem cells to grow into insulin-producing cells. The study’s ...

They cultured the cells and found that the injured tissue does indeed express Ngn3, at double the amount of normal pancreatic cells -- implying that the tissue must contain the progenitor cells.

Our glycaemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...
