Expression of survivin is correlated with cancer cell apoptosis and is involved in the development of human pancreatic duct cell tumors.

TL;DR: This work has shown that survivin, a new member of the inhibitor of apoptosis family of antiapoptotic proteins, was expressed selectively in all the most common human carcinomas but not in normal adult tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoxia stimulates pancreatic stellate cells to induce fibrosis and angiogenesis in pancreatic cancer.

TL;DR: In conclusion, hypoxia induced profibrogenic and proangiogenic responses in PSCs, suggesting that P SCs might play proangIogenic roles during the development of pancreatic fibrosis, where they are subjected to Hypoxia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nationwide epidemiological survey of autoimmune pancreatitis in Japan.

TL;DR: From the results, most AIP patients in Japan can be categorized to type 1 AIP according to the recent classification of AIP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pancreatic stellate cells enhance stem cell-like phenotypes in pancreatic cancer cells.

TL;DR: Indirect co-culture of pancreatic cancer cells with PSCs enhanced the spheroid-forming ability of cancer cells and induced the expression of cancer stem cell-related genes ABCG2, Nestin and LIN28, which suggested a novel role of P SCs as a part of the cancer stem Cell niche.
