Chronic pancreatitis remains a challenging and frustrating clinical problem. In the past few years, however, advances in genetic and immunologic research have spawned new insights and approaches ...

Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas. Acute pancreatitis occurs when symptoms appear suddenly. These may include pain in the upper left abdomen that spreads to the back, fever, nausea ...

Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition that causes the pancreas to become inflamed. It develops suddenly and can cause severe pain in the upper abdomen, often spreading to your back or left ...

There are no drugs specifically designed to treat acute pancreatitis, a disease that affects around 2.8 million people worldwide each year. The condition can lead to debilitating symptoms ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia have discovered a new mechanism driving drug resistance in pancreatic ductal ...

In preclinical models, researchers identified a key molecular mechanism by which stress and obesity trigger changes in pancreatic cells that may lead to cancer.

This suggests that both stress and obesity can fuel pancreatic cancer growth through similar mechanisms. In mouse experiments, a high-fat diet alone led to the growth of precancerous pancreatic ...
