Abnormal glucose tolerance and frank diabetes mellitus develop in up to 80% of pancreatic cancer patients. Islets within these tumors show a decreased number of beta cells and increased number of alpha cells. The reduced number of beta cells could induce beta cell neogenesis in extrainsular tissue t

This study was performed to determine whether pancreatic parenchymal epithelial cells in human chronic pancreatitis tissues retain a biologically significant capability to proliferate and, if so, within which epithelial compartment proliferation occurs. The techniques of immediate per-operative in v
## Abstract High expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in the development of pancreatic cancer. Gefitinib is an orally active and selective EGFRβTKI (EGFRβtyrosine kinase inhibitor) that blocks signal transduction pathways responsible for the proliferation an
## Abstract Endocrine pancreatic tumors (EPTs) are neoplasms with malignant potential. To explore the molecular basis of metastatic progression in human EPTs, we analyzed 17 paired specimens of primary EPTs and their metastases and 28 nonmetastatic EPTs using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH)
## Abstract The conversion of expandable liver progenitor cells into pancreatic beta cells would provide a renewable cell source for diabetes cell therapy. Previously, we reported the establishment of liver epithelial progenitor cells (LEPCs). In this work, LEPCs were modified into EGFP/Pdxβ1 LEPCs
