Background: Diabetics are incapable of producing insulin/have autoimmune mechanisms making it ineffective to control glucose secretion. We present a prospective study of glucose-sensitive insulin-secreting mesenchymal stem cells (IS-MSC) generated from ...

Role of mTOR signaling in tumor microenvironment. An overview [PDF]
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway regulates major processes by integrating a variety of exogenous cues, including diverse environmental inputs in the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Upon functional loss of insulin producing islet β-cells, some patients with diabetes become dependent on life-long insulin supplementation therapy. Bioengineering surrogate insulin producing cells is an alternative replacement strategy. We have developed

How does thymus infection by coxsackievirus contribute to the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes?
Through synthesis and presentation of neuroendocrine self-antigens by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins, thymic epithelial cells (TECs) play a crucial role in programming central immune self-tolerance to neuroendocrine functions.

E-cadherin and cell adhesion: a role in architecture and function in the pancreatic islet [PDF]
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 ...

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is released from intestinal L-cells following nutrient uptake and enhances insulin release as well as promotes satiety. Here, the authors demonstrate that GLP-1 secreting cells release ATP and that this stimulates nodose ...
