The impact of physiological stress conditions on protein structure and trypsin inhibition of serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) and its N34S variant [PDF]
, 2020 One of the most common mutations in the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) gene is the N34S variant which is strongly associated with chronic pancreatitis. Although it is assumed that N34S mutation constitutes a high-risk factor, the underlying pathologic mechanism is still unknown.

Label-Assemble: Leveraging Multiple Datasets with Partial Labels [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The success of deep learning relies heavily on large labeled datasets, but we often only have access to several small datasets associated with partial labels. To address this problem, we propose a new initiative, "Label-Assemble", that aims to unleash the full potential of partial labels from an assembly of public datasets.

Further evidence for the involvement of EFL1 in a Shwachman-Diamond-like syndrome and expansion of the phenotypic features. [PDF]
, 2018 Recent evidence has implicated EFL1 in a phenotype overlapping Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), with the functional interplay between EFL1 and the previously known causative gene SBDS accounting for the similarity in clinical features. Relatively little

Alternatively activated macrophages promote pancreatic fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis. [PDF]
, 2015 Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive and irreversible inflammatory and fibrotic disease with no cure. Unlike acute pancreatitis (AP), we find that alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) are dominant in mouse and human CP.

Obesity and Pancreatic Diseases
The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2012 Obesity is defined as BMI (calculated as weight in kg divided by height in m2) more than 30, and overweight is defined as BMI of 25-29.9. Obesity has been considered as a risk factor for pancreatic diseases, including pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Severe acute pancreatitis is significantly more frequent in obese patients.
