University of Pittsburgh researchers Dr. Farzad Esni, Ph.D., and Jing Hu, Ph.D., did an experiment in mice where they deleted ...

The experiment, the results of which were published May 3 in Nature Communications, used a focal adhesion kinase-inhibiting drug that is being studied in cancer treatment. Researchers found that the ...

A drug used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer can be repurposed to replace insulin therapy among people with diabetes, ...

Researchers show that a FAK-inhibiting drug, which has been studied in cancer treatment, converted acinar cells into acinar-derived insulin-producing (ADIP) cells and helped regulate blood glucose in ...

These tumors form in the glandular cells that make prostate fluid. There are two types of adenocarcinoma: acinar adenocarcinoma and ductal adenocarcinoma. Acinar adenocarcinoma develops in the ...

The presence of acinar inflammation is essential for the histological diagnosis of adult NASH. Portal inflammation is increasingly recognized as an important feature of NASH, probably mediated by ...

Pancreatic cancer develops when abnormal cells in the pancreas grow uncontrollably, causing symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, ...

Interestingly, acinar regions all had a high protein to lipid ratio that gradually decreased moving from the ductule to the central duct to the orifice of the gland (e). This finding suggests that ...

When alcohol and fat accumulate inside pancreatic acinar cells — the cells that secrete digestive enzymes into the gut — the resulting small molecules called metabolites deplete cellular energy levels ...

They studied the PAE by light and electron microscopy, histochemistry, and by construction of a three-dimensional model of a dilated acinar ductal system from serial semi-thick Epon sections.

These cells are called acinar adenocarcinomas. Cancer occurs when abnormal cells begin to divide and grow uncontrollably. According to the charity, the majority of cases of prostate cancer grow ...
