Aspartate Transaminases Are Dispensable for Pancreatic Development and Pancreatic Cancer Progression

Julia Ugras, Noah S. Nelson, Samuel A. Kerk…·Costas Andreas Lyssiotis

This study investigates the role of aspartate transaminases in pancreatic development and cancer progression using conditional knockout mice, finding that their loss does not affect tumor growth but impacts pancreas size in double knockout models.
