Differential alteration of TRAIL and TRAIL receptor expression profiles in PDAC patients suggest that the TRAIL/TRAIL receptor system may play a pivotal role during pancreatic carcinoma development.
At late course, coagulated stumps did not allow the leakage or burst, unlike ligated stumps. However, coagulation of the stump seemed to contribute more to epithelial healing. This experimental model suggests that the closure of the stump with only bipolar coagulation was a safe and feasible method.
Although the expression of TRAIL decoy receptors might be necessary for defense from TRAIL-induced apoptosis, high levels of TRAIL may provide protection for Langerhans islets from the immunological attack of cytotoxic T cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
