A novel protein isoform of the RON tyrosine kinase receptor transforms human pancreatic duct epithelial cells. [PDF]
The MST1R gene is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer producing elevated levels of the RON tyrosine kinase receptor protein. While mutations in MST1R are rare, alternative splice variants have been previously reported in epithelial cancers.

Pancreatitis: the neglected duct
Acute and chronic pancreatitis are multifactorial diseases that involve inflammation of the pancreas, generation of toxic mediators and mistargeting of digestive enzymes that eventually result in destruction of the parenchyma.1 Because acinar cells contain the harmful mistargeted digestive enzymes and the extensive damage occurs in acinar cells in all ...

Comparison of the diagnostic accuracy of three current guidelines for the evaluation of asymptomatic pancreatic cystic neoplasms. [PDF]
Asymptomatic pancreatic cysts are a common clinical problem but only a minority of these cases progress to cancer. Our aim was to compare the accuracy to detect malignancy of the 2015 American Gastroenterological Association (AGA), the 2012 International

Clinical trials on PARP inhibitors in urothelial carcinoma (UC) showed limited efficacy and a lack of predictive biomarkers. We propose SLFN5, SLFN11, and OAS1 as UC‐specific response predictors. We suggest Talazoparib as the better PARP inhibitor for UC than Olaparib.
