Exploring Pancreatic Metabolism and Malignancy, 1st ed. 2019

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Nagaraju Ganji Purnachandra, BM Reddy Aramati

Couverture de l’ouvrage Exploring Pancreatic Metabolism and Malignancy
This book comprehensively describes the association between metabolic syndrome and pancreatic cancer progression, and the mechanism of action and target definition with a view to drug discovery. Metabolic syndrome, which includes adnominal obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia, has recently been shown to play an important role in the etiology and progression of various cancers. Further, obesity and diabetes have been associated with an increased incidence of gastric cancers.

The book reviews the key biological mechanisms underlying the association between metabolic dysregulation, including obesity-associated enhancement of growth factor signaling, inflammation, and perturbation in pancreatic cancer cell growth and metastasis. It also illustrates the role of the inflammatory signaling pathway in metabolic diseases as well as tumor growth and explores the potential of these pathways as the rational targets for pancreatic cancer therapy.

Lastly, the bookoffers a comprehensive description of the challenges associated with diabetes and pancreatic cancer therapy.

Dr. Aramati BM Reddy is an Assistant Professor at the School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad, India. He obtained his Master’s in Biotechnology from SV University, Tirupati-India and Ph.D. from L.V. Prasad Eye Institute, University of Hyderabad, India. He received postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston-TX in epigenetics, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. Dr. Reddy’s lab research interests focus on understanding cell signaling and gene regulation in the pathophysiology of metabolic malignancies and glaucoma. His lab is also working on understanding the role of several candidate genes and their significance for the outflow pathway of the aqueous humor of the anterior segment of the eye and glaucoma pathology. He has published 30 research papers in peer-rev
