Surface Coating of Islets of Langerhans by Activated Polyethylene Glycol [PDF]

علوم و تکنولوژی پلیمر, 2008
The final treatment for diabetes is transplantation of islets of Langerhans. One of the new proposed methods for immunological preservation of transplanted cells is coating of cell surface by polyethylene glycol.

Differentiation of pancreatic endocrine islets in buffalo fetus

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020
Pancreas of 24 buffalo foetii collected from abattoir and veterinary clinics, GADVASU, Ludhiana were studied. The buffalo foetii were divided into three groups after measuring their CVRL, viz.

The effect of pomegranate fresh juice versus pomegranate seed powder on metabolic indices, lipid profile, inflammatory biomarkers, and the histopathology of pancreatic islets of Langerhans in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced type 2 diabetic Sprague–Dawley rats

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017
BackgroundType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with hyperglycemia, inflammatory disorders and abnormal lipid profiles. Several functional foods have therapeutic potential to treat chronic diseases including diabetes. The therapeutic potential of

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells enhance insulin secretion from human islets via N-cadherin interaction and prolong function of transplanted encapsulated islets in mice

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2017
Background Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) enhance viability and function of islets of Langerhans. We aimed to examine the interactions between human MSC and human islets of Langerhans that influence the function of islets.

The pancreatic islet: a micro-organ in control [PDF]

CellR4, 2021
The islets of Langerhans constitute the endocrine pancreas which regulates blood glucose homeostasis and islet dysfunction results in diabetes. Each of the pancreatic islets constitutes an entire micro-organ with intricate cell to cell interactions and ...

Endocrine cell type sorting and mature architecture in the islets of Langerhans require expression of Roundabout receptors in β cells

Scientific Reports, 2018
Pancreatic islets of Langerhans display characteristic spatial architecture of their endocrine cell types. This architecture is critical for cell-cell communication and coordinated hormone secretion.

Transplante isogênico de ilhotas de Langerhans no fígado de ratos: metodologia para separação e purificação das ilhotas de Langerhans Isogenic islet transplantation on the rat liver: Method for isolation and purification of the rat islets

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2000
A maior indicação do transplante de pâncreas ou de ilhotas de Langerhans é o diabetes mellitus do tipo I. O processo deve suprir as necessidades de insulina mantendo os níveis glicêmicos dentro da normalidade.

Crocin Protects Mice Pancreatic Islets from Oxidative Stress Induced by Methylglyoxal and Increases Insulin Secretion

Düzce Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023
Aim: Islets of Langerhans are more sensitive to oxidative damage because of their low antioxidant capacity. In diabetes, methylglyoxal (MG) accumulates in the pancreas.

Endocannabinoids in the Islets of Langerhans: the ugly, the bad, and the good facts.

American Journal of Physiology. Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates cellular homeostasis and whole-body metabolism. There is an autonomous ECS in the endocrine pancreas, including the cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) that is present in β-cells.
