Beta cell plasticity

Posted in: Publication|November 21, 2013

InSight Technology has been used to show the pancreatic islets of Langerhans adapt their content of insulin-producing beta-cells to changing insulin need. The results are published in PNAS in November 2013.  Blood glucose levels vary in an individual from one meal to the next as well as between meals. Variation can also seen between individuals. …

Islet inflammation in plain sight

Islet inflammation in plain sight

Posted in: Publication|September 28, 2013

The exact cause of either type 1 or type 2 diabetes still remains unknown. Inflammation of the insulin-producing islets of Langerhans seems to be one of the common denominators during the early stage of both diseases. InSight Technology is a promising analytical tool for studying the inflammation processes. The review is published in Diabetes, Obesity …

Apolipoprotein CIII hyperactivates insulin producing beta cells

Apolipoprotein CIII hyperactivates insulin producing beta cells

Posted in: Publication|August 15, 2013

Signal transduction between the diabetogenic blood factor apolipoprotein CIII (apoCIII) and insulin-producing beta cells is now clarified. ApoCIII acts upon the calcium channels through kinases PKA and Src, involving a receptor SR-BI and an integrin beta1. The results are published in Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences on the 15th of August 2013.   Calcium is very …
