High-level Skp2 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: correlation with the extent of lymph node metastasis, higher histological grade, and poorer patient outcome.

abstract：:Several studies have shown that pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) stimulates at very low concentration insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. In addition, PACAP has been evidenced in pancreatic nervous fibers surrounding the islets, the core of the islet, and the capillaries. The aim of t...
