Abstract excerpt
Cadmium (Cd) is a metallic pollutant which has been classified as a possible pancreatic carcinogen. Cd uses similar ion channels than divalent cations to accumulate into the cells. These include the Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily M Member 7 (TRPM7) which has been also shown as a biomarker of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic carcinogenesis is associated with the establishment of a fibrous...
