About 67,400 Americans will be diagnosed with the highly aggressive disease this year, and nearly 52,000 will die from it, ...

The time machine that Han’s lab built is a lifelike reproduction of a pancreatic structure called the acinus, which produces and secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine. Pancreatic cancer ...

Bumsoo Han, professor of mechanical engineering, has built a realistic model of a pancreatic structure that acts as a “time machine” to understand cancer and reverse its spread. (Purdue ...

In addition to cancer, pancreatic fibrosis may cause chronic pancreatitis, a painful inflammatory condition of the pancreas that can permanently alter the organ’s function and structure.

What makes pancreatic cancer so deadly is its covert and quick spread. Now, a “time machine” built by Purdue University engineers has shown a way to reverse the course of cancer before it ...
