Effect of Adenosine on the Morphological and Functional Integrity of Isolated Human Islets Exposed to Normoxic and Hypoxic Conditions [PDF]

Bioengineering
Adenosine is a ubiquitous stress marker and is characterised by numerous vital functions in all organs. Although adenosine has been investigated for decades, the information about its metabolism in islet cells has mainly been obtained in rodents.

Fresh Islets are more Effective for Islet Transplantation than Cultured Islets [PDF]

Cell Transplantation, 2012
For clinical islet transplantation, isolated islets deteriorate rapidly in culture, although culturing islets prior to transplantation provides flexibility for evaluation of isolated islets and pretreatment of patients. In the present study, we compared human fresh islets to cultured islets with in vitro and in vivo assays.

Superiority of Small Islets in Human Islet Transplantation [PDF]

Diabetes, 2007
Many factors influence the outcome of islet transplantation. As islets in the early posttransplant setting are supplied with oxygen by diffusion only and are in a hypoxic state in the portal system, we tested whether small human islets are superior to large islets both in vitro and in vivo.

Short-chain fatty acid concentrations in the incidence and risk-stratification of colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BMC Medicine, 2022
Background The beneficial role of gut microbiota and bacterial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), is well recognized, although the available literature around their role in colorectal cancer (CRC) has been inconsistent.

Mitochondrial regulation in human pluripotent stem cells during reprogramming and β cell differentiation

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and dynamically control fundamental biological processes including cell reprogramming, pluripotency, and lineage specification.

Pancreas and islet morphology in cystic fibrosis: clues to the etiology of cystic fibrosis-related diabetes

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-organ disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in CFTR (which encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator ion channel).

In depth functional characterization of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived beta cells in vitro and in vivo

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In vitro differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into beta cells represents an important cell source for diabetes research. Here, we fully characterized iPSC-derived beta cell function in vitro and in vivo in humanized mice. Using

Machine Learning Algorithms, Applied to Intact Islets of Langerhans, Demonstrate Significantly Enhanced Insulin Staining at the Capillary Interface of Human Pancreatic β Cells

Metabolites, 2021
Pancreatic β cells secrete the hormone insulin into the bloodstream and are critical in the control of blood glucose concentrations. β cells are clustered in the micro-organs of the islets of Langerhans, which have a rich capillary network.

Glucolipotoxic Stress-Induced Mig6 Desensitizes EGFR Signaling and Promotes Pancreatic Beta Cell Death

Metabolites, 2023
A loss of functional beta cell mass is a final etiological event in the development of frank type 2 diabetes (T2D). To preserve or expand beta cells and therefore treat/prevent T2D, growth factors have been considered therapeutically but have largely ...

Islet Culture/Preservation before Islet Transplantation [PDF]

Cell Medicine, 2015
Although islet culture prior to transplantation provides flexibility for the evaluation of isolated islets and the pretreatment of patients, it is well known that isolated islets deteriorate rapidly in culture. Human serum albumin (HSA) is used for medium supplementation instead of fetal bovine serum (FBS), which is typically used for islet culture ...
