Over the past 15 years, the GFP gene has enabled scientists to watch a plethora of previously murky biological processes in action: how nerve cells develop in the brain, how insulin - producing beta cells form in the pancreas of an embryo, how proteins are transported within cells, and how cancer cells metastasize through the body.

Further research uncovered a broad spectrum of cell surface stem cell markers (e.g., CD133, CD44, and CD24) that allow the identification of CSCs in human solid tumors, including brain, breast, prostate, pancreas, liver, ovary, skin, colon cancers, and melanoma (3 - 6)(Figure 1 based on 7).

Quiescent PSCs in a normal pancreas act as lipid - storing cells with a limited secretome, whereas activated PSCs in the tumor microenvironment produce a vast array of secreted proteins implicated in cancer progression.

However, because mature cells in the stomach, pancreas, liver, and kidney all activate the same genes and go through the same process when they begin to divide again, the findings could mean that cancer initiation is much more similar across organs than scientists have thought.

Obesity leads to insulin resistance, and our blood sugars start to go up, so our pancreas starts pumping out more insulin to try to force more sugar into our muscles, and eventually the fat spills over into the pancreas as well, killing off the insulin - producing cells, and we've got diabetes — in which case we may have to start injecting insulin at high levels to overcome the insulin resistance, and these high insulin levels promote cancer.
