E-cadherin expression is associated with somatostatin analogue response in acromegaly [PDF]
, 2018 Acromegaly is a rare disease resulting from hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF1) typically caused by pituitary adenomas, which is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Somatostatin analogues (SSAs)

Characterization of prenylcysteine methyltransferase in insulin-secreting cells [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1996 Prenylcysteine carboxymethyltransferase, an enzyme involved in the post-translational modification of many signalling proteins, was characterized in insulin-secreting INS-1 cells and normal rat pancreatic islets. The activity of this enzyme was monitored by the methylation of an artificial substrate (a prenylated cysteine analogue) with S-adenosyl ...

Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells into insulin- secreting cells
Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Shahīd Ṣadūqī Yazd, 2006 Introduction: Type I diabetes mellitus is caused by autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing β-cells. A new potential method for curing the disease is transplantation of differentiated insulin- secreting cells from human embryonic stem cells ...

E-cadherin and cell adhesion: a role in architecture and function in the pancreatic islet [PDF]
, 2007 Background/Aims: The efficient secretion of insulin from beta-cells requires extensive intra-islet communication. The cell surface adhesion protein epithelial (E)-cadherin (ECAD) establishes and maintains epithelial tissues such as the islets of ...

Proteomic Analysis Reveals a Mitochondrial Remodeling of βTC3 Cells in Response to Nanotopography
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Recently, using cluster-assembled zirconia substrates with tailored roughness produced by supersonic cluster beam deposition, we demonstrated that β cells can sense nanoscale features of the substrate and can translate these stimuli into a ...

Reprogramming—Evolving Path to Functional Surrogate β-Cells
Cells, 2022 Numerous cell sources are being explored to replenish functional β-cell mass since the proof-of -concept for cell therapy of diabetes was laid down by transplantation of islets. Many of these cell sources have been shown to possess a degree of plasticity

The role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the multimodal management of growth hormone–secreting pituitary adenomas [PDF]
, 2010 Growth hormone (GH)–secreting pituitary adenomas represent a common source of GH excess in patients with acromegaly. Whereas surgical extirpation of the culprit lesion is considered first-line treatment, as many as 19% of patients develop recurrent ...
