A recently described master regulator protein may explain the development of aberrant cell growth in the pancreas spurred by inflammation
(Medical Xpress)—An international team of scientists has observed that the well-studied protein Sirtuin-1, known for helping cells live longer, also appears to play an important role in pancreatic cancer.
It is likely that the protein is also highly significant for other inflammatory diseases.
A diet rich in vegetables could help stave off the development of the serious condition acute pancreatitis, suggests a large study published online in the journal Gut.
