Regulation of α‐cell glucagon secretion: The role of second messengers
Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, 2022 Glucagon is a potent glucose‐elevating hormone that is secreted by pancreatic α‐cells. While well‐controlled glucagon secretion plays an important role in maintaining systemic glucose homeostasis and preventing hypoglycaemia, it is increasingly apparent ...

Zinc: an endogenous and exogenous regulator of platelet function during hemostasis and thrombosis
Platelets, 2021 Zinc (Zn2+) is an essential micronutrient and the second most abundant trace metal in the human body. The important role that Zn2+ plays in hemostasis is exemplified by platelet-related bleeding phenotypes coinciding with dietary Zn2+ deficiency.
