What is the impact of natural glycosylation on #islet #amyloid polypeptide aggregation? 🤔 Gain insights from this Science Advances study: bit.ly/3I5Bnk1




⚗️ Guangzhou Medical University scientists summarize the updated understanding of glucose metabolism in mature β and stem cell-derived β (SC-β) cells, highlighting a potential metabolic defect underlying SC-β immaturity. Cell Reports | bit.ly/3T9DJ3R


Dr. nancy papalopulu and team at UoM Biology, Medicine and Health report that NEUROGENIN3 (NGN3) protein expression is oscillatory in human pancreatic endocrine progenitors. Non-oscillatory NGN3 results in earlier differentiation. Developmental Cell | bit.ly/3Giuono



✅ Check out this new Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy(STTT) article! Scientists elucidate a novel STYK1-driven mechanism for Wnt/β-catenin activation in APC-independent #PancreaticCancer. go.nature.com/4lxyPJV

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Karin and team on their new Nature Cancer study! 👏 They found that a self-amplifying NRF2–EZH2 epigenetic loop converts KRAS-initiated progenitors to invasive pancreatic cancer. ➰ go.nature.com/4ns7lHD



In this Cell Reports study, scientists showed that increased expression of cingulin (CGN) promoted pancreatic acinar-to-ductal metaplasia and CGN is progressively upregulated during #PDAC initiation and progression. 👉 bit.ly/44LKCPh


.Vanderbilt School of Medicine scientists report that pancreatic islet β-cell subtypes are derived from biochemically-distinct and nutritionally-regulated #islet progenitors. 🧫 🕳️ Dig into the details: go.nature.com/4eSbEZ3


Dr. Esak Lee (Esak (Isaac) Lee) and his team at Cornell University have identified ALK7 inhibition as a promising strategy to target early metastatic dissemination in #PDAC. Read the paper in Molecular Cancer: bit.ly/402v86X


#PDAC ranks among the most aggressive cancers with missense p53 GOF mutations in the TP53 gene being associated with worse clinical outcomes. 🧪 Dr. Shiv K Singh & Lab and his lab at Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) have untangled misp53 mutants' therapeutic vulnerabilities: bit.ly/462RadG


📣 New target for trametinib-resistant #PDAC identified by Dr. Dongxin Lin & collaborators at Sun Yat-sen University! Check out Gut Journal for the mechanism behind trametinib resistance and learn more about MAX dimerisation protein 1 as a druggable target: bit.ly/44nFOj3


Dr. Bulent Ozpolat's lab at MD Anderson Cancer Center found that eEF2K is associated with shorter patient survival and that eEF2K signaling is critical for #PDAC tumor growth. 🐭 Inhibition of eEF2K successfully suppressed tumor growth in two PDAC mouse models: go.nature.com/4lKudQT


Dr. David Hodson (David Hodson) and team show that GLP1R is enriched as nanodomains on beta cell membranes that contact alpha cells, in keeping with increased single-molecule transcript expression. 💡 Learn more: bit.ly/451mubz
