PSD-95 protects the pancreas against pathological damage through p38 MAPK signaling pathway in acute pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis is one of the leading causes of gastrointestinal disorder-related hospitalizations, yet its pathogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. Postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) is closely associated with tissue inflammation and injury. We aimed to investigate the expression of PSD-95 in pancreatic acinar cells, and its function in regulating the inflammatory response and pancreatic pathological damage in acute pancreatitis. A...
