American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Pancreatic Islet Transplantation
PLoS Medicine, 2004 Islet transplantation offers hope to many patients with diabetes, who envision a life free of glucose checks and insulin injections. What are the barriers to its widespread implementation?

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.Adropin is related to the energy homeostasis‐associated gene. It significantly increased glutathione reductase enzyme levels in the pancreas of experimental diabetic rats. Adropin may reduce the severity of diabetes and its complications. Cell proliferation in the exocrine is reduced after the administration of adropin.

Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 Mediates β‐hydroxybutyrate's Antiseizure Effect in Mice
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.A Objective The ketogenic diet, a high‐fat, low‐carbohydrate regimen, is often used to treat drug‐resistant seizures and is being studied for Alzheimer's disease and other neuropsychiatric disorders. However, its mechanism of action remains unclear. β‐hydroxybutyrate, a primary circulating ketone body produced by the ketogenic diet, may mediate its ...

Cancer Imaging, 2003 Islet cells tumours are a range of rare neoplasms of neuroendocrine origin arising in or close to the pancreas. The normal islet cells of Langerhans in the pancreas contain B-cells (which secrete insulin), A-cells (which secrete glucagon), D-cells (which secrete somatostatin), Dl-cells (which secrete pancreatic polypeptide, PP) and D2-cells (which ...

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review highlights how autoimmune diseases arise from intertwined immunological, genetic, and environmental factors, emphasizing gut microbiota dysbiosis as a pivotal driver. It outlines emerging nanotechnology‐based strategies—such as liposomes, hydrogels, and polymeric nanoparticles—that enhance targeted drug delivery, minimize systemic toxicity,

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Neurons and pancreatic endocrine cells have a common physiology and express a similar toolkit of transcription factors during development. To explain these common features, it has been hypothesized that pancreatic cells most likely co-opted a pre ...
