Bioorthogonal Engineering of Cellular Microenvironments Using Isonitrile Ligations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly selective chemistries are required for fabrication and post‐cross–linking modification of cell‐encapsulating hydrogels used in tissue engineering applications. Isonitrile ligation reactions represent a promising class of bioorthogonal chemistries for engineering hydrogel‐based cellular microenvironments. Isonitrile‐based hydrogels are stable and

Molecular Mechanisms of Secreting Vesicle Biogenesis and Secretion in Chronic Degenerative Diseases [PDF]

, 2012
Regulated trafficking and secretion of insulin by the β cell of the endocrine pancreas is critical to maintain our body energy homeostasis. Disruption of these processes typically leads to hyperglycemia and the complications of diabetes.

Pasireotide for the Medical Management of Feline Hypersomatotropism [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Feline hypersomatotropism (HST) is a cause of diabetes mellitus in cats. Pasireotide is a novel multireceptor ligand somatostatin analog that improves biochemical control of humans with HST.

cAMP-PKA dependent ERK1/2 activation is necessary for vanillic acid potentiated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells

Journal of Functional Foods, 2019
Vanillic acid (VA), a dietary phenolic compound is generally studied for its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effect of VA on insulin secretion and its mechanism of action has never been explored.

Tunable Thermoshrinkable Hydrogels for 4D Fabrication of Cell‐Seeded Channels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A thermoresponsive polymer with methacrylate groups for photo‐cross‐linking, based on polyethylene glycol, N‐isopropylacrylamide, and 2‐hydroxyethyl acrylate is synthetized to yield hydrogels that shrink upon temperature increase. The new polymer enables the fabrication of cell‐laden perfusable channels with diameters below 200 µm by combining ...

Dapagliflozin stimulates glucagon secretion at high glucose: experiments and mathematical simulations of human A-cells. [PDF]

, 2016
Glucagon is one of the main regulators of blood glucose levels and dysfunctional stimulus secretion coupling in pancreatic A-cells is believed to be an important factor during development of diabetes.

[14] Establishment and culture of insulin-secreting β cell lines

, 1990
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the establishment and culture of insulin-secreting β cell lines. The most successful methods for isolating islets from large mammals, including man can provide up to 200,000 islets/ pancreas. The aim of this chapter is to describe the various types of lines available, as well as their functional ...

Cell‐Delivering Injectable Hydrogels with Tunable Microporous Structures Improve Therapeutic Efficacy for Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents an injectable hydrogel with tunable microporosity to improve mesenchymal stem cell delivery for volumetric muscle loss treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated in porous hydrogels significantly promote the spreading, proliferation, and cytokine secretion of mesenchymal stem cells.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
