New Study Sheds Light on Bone Marrow Stem Cell Therapy for Pancreatic Recovery
October 2, 2012 Researchers have found that a blood vessel-building gene boosts the ability of human bone marrow stem cells to sustain pancreatic recovery in a laboratory mouse model of insulin-dependent ... > full story -
Smoking, Heavy Drinking Linked to Earlier Onset of Pancreatic Cancer
October 1, 2012 Those who smoke and drink heavily may develop pancreatic cancer at an earlier age than those who don’t. But quitting reduces the extra risk, a new study ... > full story -
Oral Bacteria May Signal Pancreatic Cancer Risk
September 18, 2012 Pancreatic cancer is highly lethal and difficult to detect early. In a new study, researchers report that people who had high levels of antibodies for an infectious oral bacterium turned out to have ... > full story -
Lack of Oxygen in Cancer Cells Leads to Growth and Metastasis
September 13, 2012 The proteins HIF-1a and CD24 have both been implicated in the aggressive characteristics of hypoxic cancers. A new study shows that HIF-1a drives CD24 overexpression, and that CD24 then drives ... > full story -
Cancer-Causing Gene Alone Doesn’t Trigger Pancreatic Cancer, Research Finds
September 10, 2012 More than a cancer-causing gene is needed to trigger pancreatic cancer, a study led by Mayo Clinic has found. A second factor creates a “perfect storm” that allows tumors to form, the ... > full story -

Study Helps Pancreatic Cancer Patients Make Hard Choices
August 23, 2012 Researchers have examined SEER data on 25,476 pancreatic cancer patients, correlating days spent on medical care with disease stage, type of treatment and survival time. The first of its kind, the ... > full story -
'Organic' Study of Live Pancreatic Tissue Yields New Opportunities for Diabetes Research
August 17, 2012 An 'all-natural' method for studying pancreatic islets, the small tissues responsible for insulin production and regulation in the body, has recently been developed to try to track metabolic changes ... > full story -
High Dietary Antioxidant Intake Might Cut Pancreatic Cancer Risk
July 23, 2012 Increasing dietary intake of the antioxidant vitamins C, E, and selenium could help cut the risk of developing pancreatic cancer by up to two thirds, suggests new ... > full story -
