ABSTRACT Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most aggressive cancers, typically diagnosed at an advanced stage due to its subtle and often absent early symptoms. Despite representing only 3% of new cancer cases, it is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer‐related deaths by 2030.

ABSTRACT Background and Study Aims Motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE) was introduced as a major advancement in small‐bowel enteroscopy, enabling higher complete enteroscopy rates with shorter procedure times. However, after a fatal adverse event (AE) involving severe esophageal injury, the device was withdrawn from the market in July 2023.

LKB1 interacts with and phosphorylates PTEN: a functional link between two proteins involved in cancer predisposing syndromes [PDF]
Germline mutations of the LKB1 (STK11) tumor suppressor gene lead to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and predisposition to cancer. LKB1 encodes a serine/threonine kinase generally inactivated in PJS patients.

Peutz-Jeghers LKB1 mutants fail to activate GSK-3β, preventing it from inhibiting Wnt signaling [PDF]
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is caused by germline mutations in the LKB1 gene, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase that regulates cell proliferation and polarity. This autosomal dominant disorder is characterized by mucocutaneous melanin pigmentation,

Virilizing Leydig-Sertoli cell ovarian tumor associated with endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium in a postmenopausal patient: Case report and general considerations [PDF]
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) are rare tumors mostly occurring in young women. Here we report an unusual case of a SLCT with simultaneous occurrence of endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium in a woman in ...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a state where the body’s glucose metabolism is compromised. AMP‐activated protein kinase, or AMPK, has an important part to play in glucose metabolism, and the liver kinase B1 (LKB1) protein functions as a major upstream kinase for AMPK activation, thereby making it appealing therapeutic targets for treating and ...
