Pancreatic cancer: pathogenesis, screening, diagnosis, and treatment
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a clinically challenging cancer, due to both its
late stage at diagnosis and its resistance to chemotherapy. However, recent advances in our …

Chymotrypsin C (CTRC) variants that diminish activity or secretion are associated with chronic pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is a persistent inflammatory disease of the pancreas, in which the
digestive protease trypsin has a fundamental pathogenetic role. Here we have analyzed the …
