Spatial profiling of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers in tumor associated cells predicts patient outcomes in pancreatic cancer.

Introduction: The impact of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in tumor-associated cells, such as cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune cells and endothelial cells, on patient outcomes in clinical specimens have not been examined. For the first time, we characterized the expression and spatial locations of ER stress markers, BiP and CHOP, in tumor-associated cells and assessed their prognostic significance in a panel of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patient samples.

Methods: Multiplex immunofluorescence was performed on tumor microarrays and images were analyzed using HALO AI software.

Syzygium cumini (L.) skeels mitigate diabetic nephropathy by regulating Nrf2 pathway and mitocyhondrial dysfunction: In vitro and in vivo studies.

Ethnopharmacological Prevalence: Hyperglycemia in diabetes increases the generation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) through non-enzymatic reactions. The interaction between AGEs and their receptors (RAGE) leads to oxidative and inflammatory stress, which plays a pivotal role in developing diabetic nephropathy. Syzygium cumini (SC) L.

Decoding the role of aldosterone in glycation-induced diabetic complications.

Diabetes-mediated development of micro and macro-vascular complications is a global concern. One of the factors is hyperglycemia induced the non-enzymatic formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Accumulated AGEs bind with receptor of AGEs (RAGE) causing inflammation, oxidative stress and extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) modifications responsible for fibrosis, cell damage and tissue remodeling.

The epidemiology of acute pancreatitis in Tasmania over a 12-year period: Is this a disease of disadvantage?

Background: The global incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) is increasing, but little information exists about trends in Australia. This study aimed to describe incidence trends, along with clinical and socio-demographic associations, in the state of Tasmania over a recent 12-year period.

Methods: The study cohort was obtained by linking clinical and administrative datasets encompassing the whole Tasmanian population between 2007 and 2018, inclusive.
