A new stem-cell-derived model suggests human pancreatic cells require multiple genetic failures before becoming cancerous and ...

(SALT LAKE CITY)—Cancer of the pancreas is usually not detected until it's too late to cure. But precursor lesions that form in the pancreas and its ducts can signal the disease before it strikes, and ...

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive type of cancer that is difficult to detect and has a 5-year survival rate of less than 11%, which is further reduced if it has metastasized. Researchers at the ...

Scientists have shown that an old heart drug can inhibit growth of one of the most common and lethal forms of pancreatic cancer, at least in preclinical models. In a study published Dec. 26 in Cell ...

Jing Hughes, an endocrinologist at Washington University in St. Louis, was working late in the lab recently, imaging cilia in mouse pancreatic beta cells. These cilia, which are tiny hairlike ...

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 keep at least a ...

Pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival of less than 11%, a rate which drops even further once the cancer has metastasized. Improvements in treatments are urgently needed. Now, live images of drug ...

Pancreatic cancer is projected to become the second-deadliest cancer by 2030. By the time it's diagnosed, it's often difficult to treat. So, for both individual patients and the general population, ...
