1. CCK-dependent pancreatic regulation and pancreatic functional impact on growth in young pigs
Abstract : The exocrine pancreas is mainly regulated via neuro-hormonal pathways. CCK-dependent regulatory pathways and CCK-receptor subtype involved seem to differ between mammalian species. READ MORE

2. Advances in the Perioperative Management of Pancreatic Cancer
Abstract : Surgery is currently the only form of curative treatment for pancreatic cancer, yet five-year survival rates following resection are just 15-20%. Improved hospital care has decreased postoperative mortality to 2% yet morbidity remains high at 50%. Poor survival and high morbidity are driven by several perioperative factors. READ MORE
