Emerging therapies for pancreatic ductal carcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a solid tumor mass that grows and metastasizes rapidly. There are no definitivemethods for early detection and most patients are diagnosed at a late stage. Those diagnosed at an early stage are eligible for tumorresection. However, many of these patients are soon burdened with tumor recurrence. The tumor grows

RelA regulates CXCL1/CXCR2-dependent oncogene-induced senescence in murine Kras-driven pancreatic carcinogenesis [PDF]
Tumor suppression that is mediated by oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is considered to function as a safeguard during development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the mechanisms that regulate OIS in PDAC are poorly understood. Here,

A33 shows similar sensitivity to but is more specific than CDX2 as an immunomarker of colorectal carcinoma [PDF]
Aims: CDX2 is widely used as a sensitive and specific immunomarker for colorectal carcinoma (CRC) but neither this sensitivity nor specificity is absolute. This study is the first known comparison of CDX1 and A33 against CDX2 as immunomarkers for CRC.
