Beta cell-derived cholecystokinin drives obesity-associated pancreatic adenocarcinoma development
Garcia CC, Venkat A, McQuaid DC, Agabiti SS, Tong A, Mathew B, Cardone RL, Starble R, Ruiz CF, Zheng C, Sogunro A, Jacox JB, Loh KH, Kibbey RG, Krishnaswamy S, Muzumdar MD. Beta cell-derived cholecystokinin drives obesity-associated pancreatic adenocarcinoma development. Nature Communications 2026 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-026-69821-2.Peer-Reviewed Original ResearchThis study investigates how beta cell-derived cholecystokinin drives obesity-associated pancreatic cancer development, showing that targeting endocrine signaling could prevent tumor progression in obesity-related contexts.Beta cell-derived cholecystokinin drives obesity-associated pancreatic adenocarcinoma development
