Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal malignancy and lacks effective treatment. We aimed to understand molecular mechanisms of the intertwined interactions between tumour stromal components in metastasis and to provide a new paradigm for PDAC therapy. Two unselected cohorts of 154 and 20 patients with PDAC were subjected to cor...

In response to liver injury, hepatic stellate cells activate and acquire proliferative and contractile features. The regression of liver fibrosis appears to involve the clearance of activated hepatic stellate cells, either by apoptosis or by reversion toward a quiescent-like state, a process called deactivation. Thus, deactivation of active hepatic...

Long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) may induce bone complications. Tridimensional bone imaging techniques such as high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) allow the assessment of both compartmental volumetric densities and microarchitecture. Our aim was to evaluate these parameters in children and teenagers receiving lo...

Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) is considered standard treatment for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although TACE is viewed as a safe and effective procedure, it may still present with various complications, including spinal cord injury, though very rarely. A 74-year-old male was diagnosed with non-B, non-C HCC, segment 4...

Alteration of programming of the intestinal wall maturation may be responsible for non-communicable chronic diseases in adulthood. It may originate from prenatal exposure of mothers to deleterious environmental factors such as pesticides or western diet. This work was undertaken to determine whether disturbances of the digestive tract function and ...

Bitter taste receptors (TAS2R) serve as warning sensors in the lingual system against ingestion of potential poisonous food. Here, we investigated the functional role of TAS2Rs in the human gut and focused on their potential to trigger an additional host defense pathway in the intestine. Human jejunal crypts, especially from obese subjects, respond...
