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 ...

An EUS can detect changes in the pancreas structure that may indicate cancer. It can also identify abnormal growths or tumors. Most people who undergo EUS do not experience negative side effects.
