MIA PaCa-2 is a human pancreatic cancer cell line used extensively in pancreatic cancer research and therapy development.[1]
In 1977,[2] MIA PaCa-2 cells were derived from the carcinoma of a 65-year-old male.[citation needed]
The cells exhibit CK5.6, AE1/AE3, E-cadherin, vimentin, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, SSTR2, and NTR1, but not CD56.[1] The cells have a round, epithelial morphology, and are adherent in cell culture.
MIA PaCa-2 has served for decades as a model of pancreatic cancer, and studies of MIA PaCa-2 physiology have helped clarify the mechanisms of carcinogenesis in pancreatic cancer,[1] aid the development of cancer cell lysates targeting IgG production,[3] and augmented drug-delivery methods relying on quantum dots.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
