Pancreatic colloid carcinoma, also known as mucinous non-cystic carcinoma, is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer accounting for 1-3% of the pancreatic malignant neoplasms. We herein report a woman who initially presented for acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography showed pancreatic swelling due to acute pancreatitis and a 16-mm mass with an enhanced margin in the pancreatic tail. We performed endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration. The patient was diagnosed with pancreatic colloid carcinoma, and distal pancreatectomy was performed. This case indicates that pancreatic colloid carcinoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis of pancreatic tumor presenting with acute pancreatitis.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) requires innovative therapeutic strategies to counteract its progression and metastatic potential. Since the majority of patients are diagnosed with advanced metastatic disease, treatment strategies targeting not only the primary tumor but also metastatic lesions are needed. Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) have emerged as central players, significantly influencing PDAC progression and metastasis.

Islet transplantation is a promising therapy for diabetes, yet the limited survival and functionality of transplanted islet grafts hinder optimal outcomes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an endogenous hormone, has shown potential to enhance islet survival and function; however, its systemic administration can result in poor localization and undesirable side effects. To address these challenges, we developed a novel peptide-based nanofiber hydrogel incorporating GLP-1 functionality for localized delivery.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal cancer. Paclitaxel (PTX), typically administered intravenously (IV) as chemotherapy, shows promise for triggering immunogenic cell death (ICD) and may serve as a potential immunotherapy. This study introduces an oral PTX delivery method using an enteric-coated gelatin capsule containing capric acid oil and an effervescent agent, optionally with decylamine-conjugated β-glucans (DA-βGlus).

Background And Purpose: Diabetic wounds are serious chronic complications of diabetes and can lead to amputation and death. Although considerable progress has been made in drugs and materials for treating it, it's still an urgent clinical problem as the materials and drugs have potential therapeutic drawbacks, such as low delivery efficiency and poor tissue permeability. To promote diabetic wound healing, a composite of thonningianin A (TA)-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CNPS) encapsulated by a Pluronic F-127 (PF-127) hydrogel (TA-CNPS-PF) was developed in this study.
