Conserved mechanism for coordinating replication fork helicase assembly with phosphorylation of the helicase.

abstract：:Obesity is associated with increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer, and it is suggested that insulin resistance provides the missing link. Here we demonstrate that under the context of genetic susceptibility, a high fat diet (HFD) predisposes mice with oncogenic K-ras activation to accelerated pancreatic intra...
