TLDR
It is suggested that Notch mediates the tumor-initiating effects of TG alpha by expanding a population of undifferentiated precursor cells.

Genetics and biology of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: The path to meaningful clinical progress has never been clearer to improve PDAC patient survival and a deeper understanding of cancer cell biology, particularly altered cancer cell metabolism and impaired DNA repair processes, is providing novel therapeutic strategies that show strong preclinical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic pancreatitis is essential for induction of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by K-Ras oncogenes in adult mice.

TL;DR: It is reported that selective expression of an endogenous K-Ras(G12V) oncogene in embryonic cells of acinar/centroacinar lineage results in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) and invasive PDA, suggesting that PDA originates by differentiation of acINs or their precursors into ductal-like cells.

Expression profiling identifies microRNA signature in pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: A microRNA expression signature has been identified that is associated with pancreatic cancer and Aberrant microRNAs may offer new clues to pancreatic tumorigenesis and may provide diagnostic biomarkers for pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

Hedgehog signalling in cancer formation and maintenance.

TL;DR: The Hedgehog signalling pathway is essential for numerous processes during embryonic development, but the overall activity of the pathway is diminished after embryogenesis, recent reports show that the pathway remains active in some adult tissues, including adult stem cells in the brain and skin.

Notch Signaling: Cell Fate Control and Signal Integration in Development

TL;DR: Notch signaling defines an evolutionarily ancient cell interaction mechanism, which plays a fundamental role in metazoan development, providing a general developmental tool to influence organ formation and morphogenesis.

A simplified system for generating recombinant adenoviruses

TL;DR: In this paper, a recombinant adenoviral plasmid is generated with a minimum of enzymatic manipulations, employing homologous recombination in bacteria rather than in eucaryotic cells.

Cancer statistics, 2002.

TL;DR: The American Cancer Society estimated the number of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival, using National Cancer Institute (NCI) incidence and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) mortality data as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

A presenilin-1-dependent gamma-secretase-like protease mediates release of Notch intracellular domain.

TL;DR: It is reported that, in mammalian cells, PS1 deficiency also reduces the proteolytic release of NICD from a truncated Notch construct, thus identifying the specific biochemical step of the Notch signalling pathway that is affected by PS1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notch signalling controls pancreatic cell differentiation

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that ngn3 acts as pro-endocrine gene and that Notch signalling is critical for the decision between theendocrine and progenitor/exocrine fates in the developing pancreas.
