Classification of microscopy images of Langerhans islets [PDF]
Evaluation of images of Langerhans islets is a crucial procedure for planning an islet transplantation, which is a promising diabetes treatment. This paper deals with segmentation of microscopy images of Langerhans islets and evaluation of islet ...

The Endothelial Cells in Islets of Langerhans [PDF]
The blood vessels of the pancreatic islets are of crucial importance for oxygen and metabolite supply, and dispersal of secreted hormones. In addition to this, endothelial cells have an important role in the revascularization process after islet transplantation.

Characterization of the Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasm Immune Microenvironment
Enhancements in the creation of animal models that most accurately represent the aggressive types of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are necessary to create therapeutic protocols that combine immunotherapies with other medication classes to help patients with metastatic disease recover or respond to treatment more durably. Tumor microenvironment is

Immunological characterization of chromogranins A and B and secretogranin II in the bovine pancreatic islet [PDF]
Antisera against chromogranin A and B and secretogranin II were used for analysing the bovine pancreas by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. All three antigens were found in extracts of fetal pancreas by one dimensional immunoblotting. A comparison

Membrane permeabilization by Islet Amyloid Polypeptide
Membrane permeabilization by Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP) is suggested to be the main mechanism for IAPP-induced cytotoxicity and death of insulin-producing -cells in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Human monoclonal islet specific autoantibodies share features of islet cell and 64 kDa antibodies [PDF]
The first human monoclonal islet cell antibodies of the IgG class (MICA 1-6) obtained from an individual with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus were cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies selected by the indirect immunofluorescence test on pancreas

Adventures with Insulin in the Islets of Langerhans [PDF]
Insulin is a small but beautifully organized protein with a unique two-chain structure, the first protein to be sequenced. The mechanism of its biosynthesis invited much initial speculation but was finally clarified by the discovery of proinsulin, its single-chain precursor.

Simvastatin Rapidly and Reversibly Inhibits Insulin Secretion in Intact Single-Islet Cultures [PDF]
open10Epidemiological studies suggest that statins may promote the development or exacerbation of diabetes, but whether this occurs through inhibition of insulin secretion is unclear.

Class-switched anti-insulin antibodies originate from unconventional antigen presentation in multiple lymphoid sites [PDF]
Autoantibodies to insulin are a harbinger of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice. To understand the genesis of these autoantibodies, we investigated the interactions of insulin-specific T and B lymphocytes using T ...
