## Abstract The EGF family of ligands and receptors plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and contributes to its aggressiveness. A number of molecular approaches have been developed to block these pathways, and studies have already proven the clinica

## Abstract Glucose homeostasis requires the coordinated actions of various organs and is critically dependent on the proper functioning of the various cell types present in the pancreatic Langerhans islets. Here we report that chromatin architectural protein HMGN3 is highly expressed in all pancre
## Abstract Phosphatidylinositol 3βkinase (PI3K) signaling controls survival and proliferation of cancer cells and is activated in around 60% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs). Although not entirely clarified, PI3K signaling is linked to cell cycle progression of PDAC cells. In this stud
Fatty liver is vulnerable to conditions that challenge hepatocellular energy homeostasis. Lipidladen hepatocytes highly express uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2), a mitochondrial carrier that competes with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis by mediating proton leak. However, evidence for a link betwee
We have examined the anti-tumor effect in nude mice caused by human pancreatic cancer cells (AsPC-1) modified to secrete IL-2 or IL-4. Loss of tumorigenicity of cytokineproducing, but not wild-type, cells was observed despite their unaltered in vitro proliferation rates; and these anti-tumor effects
