    Författare :Parisa Rabieifar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Tumors are complex organs with a unique ecosystem containing tumor cells entangled with various infiltrating cells. Tumors have distinct signaling signatures, which confers upon it the ability to grow in the primary host organ and further disseminate to other parts of the body. LÄS MER

    Författare :Feng Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :pancreatic cancer; pancreatic islet; insulin; IAPP; somatostatin; glucagon;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Mutual influences have been found between exocrine pancreatic cancer and the endocrine pancreatic islets. In laboratory animals, induction and growth of pancreatic cancer are affected by the endocrine pancreas. Conversely, abnormalities of the endocrine pancreas are frequently seen in mammals with pancreatic cancer. LÄS MER
