Size Distribution of Mouse Langerhans Islets [PDF]
Pancreatic beta-cells are clustered in islets of Langerhans, which are typically a few hundred micrometers in a variety of mammals. In this study, we propose a theoretical model for the growth of pancreatic islets and derive the islet size distribution, based on two recent observations: First, the neogenesis of new islets becomes negligible after some ...

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 ...

The study of pathohistological and morphofunctional changes in the endocrine pancreas is an integral part of experimental diabetology, which allows obtaining a signifi cant amount of information on various aspects of the etiology and pathogenesis of ...

Entrapment of Cultured Pancreas Islets in Three-Dimensional Collagen Matrices
In vitro culture of islets of Langerhans decreases their immunogenecity, presumably by eliminating passenger leukocytes and other Ia+ presenting cells within the islets.

Negative Feedback Synchronizes Islets of Langerhans [PDF]
Insulin is released from the pancreas in pulses with a period of ~ 5 min. These oscillatory insulin levels are essential for proper liver utilization and perturbed pulsatility is observed in type 2 diabetes. What coordinates the many islets of Langerhans throughout the pancreas to produce unified oscillations of insulin secretion?

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

The creation of a cell-engineered pancreatic construct (CEPC) from islets of Langerhans and biocompatible matrix carrier (framework/scaffold), which imitates the native microenvironment of pancreatic tissue, is an approach to the treatment of type I ...

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

Pancreatic islet transplantation after upper abdominal exeriteration and liver replacement [PDF]
Nine patients who became diabetic after upper-abdominal exenteration and liver transplantation were given pancreatic islet-cell grafts obtained from the liver donor (eight cases), a third-party donor (one), or both (four). Two patients were diabetic when
