A Unique “Composite” PTLD with Diffuse Large B-Cell and T/Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma Components Occurring 17 Years after Transplant by Kristin La Fortune, Dahua Zhang, Gordana Raca, Erik A. Ranheim

“…Here, we report a unique case of a 56-year-old man in whom a lymphoma with two distinct components developed as a duodenal mass seventeen years following a combined kidney-pancreas transplant. This PTLD, which has features not previously reported in the literature, consisted of one component of CD20 positive and EBV negative monomorphic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. …”

Hyperglycemia, an abnormality that results from a breakdown of normal glucose control processes is also the result of molecular mechanisms to protect the insulin receptor? A hypoth... by Zerón HM, Maldonado AN, Sánchez MM

“…Conclusion: An increase in glucose plasma levels and its poor control triggers serious injuries caused by glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity, which affects mainly the pancreas but also leads to a systemic damage, triggering the activation of protective pathways attempting to preserve the homeostasis and prevent progression. …”

TRPM7 and TRPM8 Ion Channels in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Potential Roles as Cancer Biomarkers and Targets by Nelson S. Yee, Ada S. Chan, Julian D. Yee, Rosemary K. Yee

“…In light of recent discoveries, it has been found that TRP melastatin-subfamily members, TRPM7 and TRPM8, are required for normal and cancerous development of exocrine pancreas. We are currently investigating the mechanisms which mediate the functional roles of TRPM7 and TRPM8 and attempting to develop these ion channels as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets for achieving the goal of personalized therapy in pancreatic cancer.…”

Exosome-Like Vesicles as New Mediators and Therapeutic Targets for Treating Insulin Resistance and β-Cell Mass Failure in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Qian Ge, Xin Xin Xie, Xiaoqiu Xiao, Xi Li

“…Pathologic conditions associated with type 2 diabetes (such as high blood glucose, inflammation, hypoxia, and fatty acids) can alter the quantity and components of ELVs secreted from the pancreas or peripheral insulin-targeting tissues. These released ELVs can either enter the blood circulation or be taken up by neighboring cells or macrophages, which can lead to insulin resistance or β-cell apoptosis. …”
