BA exhibits anti-pancreatic cancer effects by suppressing pancreatic cancer growth and inducing apoptosis through the stress-activated protein kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-κB/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3/B cell lymphoma-2 (JNK/p38 MAPK/NF-κB/Stat3/Bcl-2) signaling pathway (Lu et al., 2021). The gene discussed is MAPK8; the disease is pancreatic neoplasm.
