Increased Bcl-xL Expression in Pancreatic Neoplasia Promotes Carcinogenesis by Inhibiting Senescence and ApoptosisSummary

Background & Aims: Bcl-xL, an anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein, is overexpressed in 90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases. However, Bcl-xL expression in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) and its significance in PDAC carcinogenesis remain unclear. The aim of this st...
