Trp53R172H and kmsg12d cooperate to promote chromosomal instability and widely metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in mice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the genetic requirements for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) and targeted concomitant endogenous expression of Trp53 R172H and Kras G12D to reveal the cooperative development of invasive and widely metastatic carcinoma that recapitulates the human disease.

Pancreatic Cancer Chemoresistance to Gemcitabine.

TL;DR: To circumvent gem citabine resistance in PDAC, several novel therapeutic approaches, including chemical modifications of the gemcitabine molecule generating numerous new prodrugs, as well as new entrapment designs of gemcitABine in colloidal systems such as nanoparticles and liposomes, are currently being investigated.

Matrix Metalloproteinases: Regulators of the Tumor Microenvironment

TL;DR: In addition to their role in extracellular matrix turnover and cancer cell migration, MMPs regulate signaling pathways that control cell growth, inflammation, or angiogenesis and may even work in a nonproteolytic manner.

Adipose tissue tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-6 expression in human obesity and insulin resistance

TL;DR: Plasma IL-6 was significantly higher in obese subjects and demonstrated a highly significant inverse relationship with S(I) (r = -0.71, P < 0.001), while plasma TNF was significantly associated with plasma nonesterified fatty acid levels (r=0.49, P = 0.002).
