Prediction of Pancreatic Islet Yield After Pancreatectomy Using Optical Coherence Elastography
Intraoperative assessment of pancreatic quality, followed by sampling for the potential isolation of Langerhans islets for subsequent autotransplantation, is currently a key component of post-total pancreatectomy diabetes mellitus treatment.

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.

Microwell scaffolds for the extrahepatic transplantation of islets of langerhans [PDF]
Allogeneic islet transplantation into the liver has the potential to restore normoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes. However, the suboptimal microenvironment for islets in the liver is likely to be involved in the progressive islet dysfunction ...

Excitation wave propagation as a possible mechanism for signal transmission in pancreatic islets of Langerhans [PDF]
In response to glucose application, β-cells forming pancreatic islets of Langerhans start bursting oscillations of the membrane potential and intracellular calcium concentration, inducing insulin secretion by the cells.

An unusual case of intertrigo in an adult caused by purely cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis [PDF]
We report a case of persistent intertrigo in an adult, eventually diagnosed as cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). It is known that LCH has a predilection for intertriginous areas, however purely cutaneous disease as in our case, is uncommon ...

Evaluation of Alginate Microcapsules for Use in Transplantation of Islets of Langerhans
Transplantation of islets of Langerhans is a potential treatment of type 1 diabetes that aims to restore normal glucose homeostasis. Microencapsulation of islets could enable transplantation in the absence of immunosuppression, which would be beneficial ...
