Article Abstract
Background And Aims: While type 2 diabetes is a well-known risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), PDAC-induced new-onset diabetes (PDAC-NOD) is a manifestation of underlying PDAC. In this study, we sought to identify potential blood-based biomarkers for distinguishing PDAC-NOD from type 2 diabetes (T2DM) without PDAC.
Materials And Methods: By ELISA analysis, a migration signature biomarker panel comprising tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), tenascin C (TNC-FNIII-C) and CA 19-9 was analyzed in plasma samples from 50 PDAC-NOD and 50 T2DM controls.
Results: Both TFPI (area under the curve (AUC) 0.71) and TNC-FNIII-C (AUC 0.69) outperformed CA 19-9 (AUC 0.60) in distinguishing all stages of PDAC-NOD from T2DM controls. The combined panel showed an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI = 0.73-0.90) (p = 0.002). In the PDAC-NOD early stage II samples, the three biomarkers had an AUC of 0.84 (95% CI = 0.73-0.93) vs CA 19-9, AUC = 0.60, (95% CI = 0.45-0.73), which also improved significance (p = 0.0123).
Conclusion: The migration signature panel adds significantly to CA 19-9 to discriminate PDAC-NOD from T2DM controls and warrants further validation for high-risk group stratification.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) preferentially localizes in the bone marrow (BM) and displays recurrent patterns of medullary and extra-medullary involvement. Leukemic cells exploit their niche for propagation and survive selective pressure by chemotherapy in the BM microenvironment, suggesting the existence of protective mechanisms. Here, we established a three-dimensional (3D) BM mimic with human mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells that resemble vasculature-like structures to explore the interdependence of leukemic cells with their microenvironment.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological cancers in developed countries. Like EC, most female reproductive tract malignancies are thought to be hormonally driven, with estrogen signaling acting as an oncogenic signal. The actions of estrogen are mediated through the classical nuclear estrogen receptors α (ER-α) and β (ER-β) as well as transmembrane G protein-coupled estrogen receptors (GPR30 and GPER).

Lymphotoxin β receptor (LTβR/TNFRSF3) signaling plays a crucial role in immune defense. Notably, LTβR-deficient (LTβR) mice exhibit severe defects in innate and adaptive immunity against various pathogens and succumb to infection. Here, we investigated the bone marrow (BM) and peritoneal cavity (PerC) compartments of LTβR mice during infection, demonstrating perturbed B-cell and T-cell subpopulations in the absence of LTβR signaling.
