Signaling Pathways Involved in Acute Pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common digestive emergency with high morbidity and mortality. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of AP, including oxidative stress, disruptions in calcium homeostasis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, inflammatory responses, and various forms of cell death. This review provides an overview of the typical signaling pathways involved and proposes the latest clinical translation prospects. These strategies are important for the early management of AP, preventing multi-organ injury, and improving the overall prognosis of the disease.
