Core Tip This editorial elucidates a key mechanism through which acute pancreatitis (AP) contributes to the development of diabetes: tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) triggers islet β-cell apoptosis via the Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 pathway. We underscore the central role of this inflammatory axis in post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM) and advocate for targeting TNF-α as a translatable strategy to preserve β-cell mass and prevent diabetes following pancreatic injury.
