TRPM7 and chronic pancreatitis: In a previous study that evaluated the differences in TRPM7 expression among normal pancreas, chronic pancreatitis tissue, pre-malignant tissues, and malignant neoplasms (pancreatic adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenosquamous carcinoma, solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, and acinar cell carcinoma), the expression level and localization of TRPM7 varied depending on the pathophysiological state of the pancreas [11].
