Different tumor microenvironments contain functionally distinct subsets of macrophages derived from Ly6C(high) monocytes.
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) form a major component of the tumor stroma. However, important concepts such as TAM heterogeneity and the nature of the monocytic TAM precursors remain speculative.… Expand

Glucose sensing in pancreatic beta-cells: a model for the study of other glucose-regulated cells in gut, pancreas, and hypothalamus.
Nutrient homeostasis is known to be regulated by pancreatic islet tissue. The function of islet beta-cells is controlled by a glucose sensor that operates at physiological glucose concentrations and… Expand

Inverse relationship between cytotoxicity of free fatty acids in pancreatic islet cells and cellular triglyceride accumulation.
Studies in Zucker diabetic fatty rats have led to the concept that chronically elevated free fatty acid (FFA) levels can cause apoptosis of triglyceride-laden pancreatic beta-cells as a result of the… Expand

Type VIII adenylyl cyclase in rat beta cells: coincidence signal detector/generator for glucose and GLP-1
Aims/hypothesisThe secretory function of pancreatic beta cells is synergistically stimulated by two signalling pathways which mediate the effects of nutrients and hormones such as glucagon-like… Expand

Human and rat beta cells differ in glucose transporter but not in glucokinase gene expression.
Glucose homeostasis is controlled by a glucose sensor in pancreatic beta-cells. Studies on rodent beta-cells have suggested a role for GLUT2 and glucokinase in this control function and in mechanisms… Expand

Insulin needs after CD3-antibody therapy in new-onset type 1 diabetes.
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease that leads to a major loss of insulin-secreting beta cells. The further decline of beta-cell function after clinical onset… Expand

IA1 is NGN3‐dependent and essential for differentiation of the endocrine pancreas
Neurogenin 3 (Ngn3) is key for endocrine cell specification in the embryonic pancreas and induction of a neuroendocrine cell differentiation program by misexpression in adult pancreatic duct cells.… Expand

Glucose promotes survival of rat pancreatic beta cells by activating synthesis of proteins which suppress a constitutive apoptotic program.
This study demonstrates that rat islet beta cells constitutively express an apoptotic program which is activated when mRNA or protein synthesis is blocked. Apoptotic beta cells were detectable by… Expand

Interleukin-6 regulates pancreatic α-cell mass expansion
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is systemically elevated in obesity and is a predictive factor to develop type 2 diabetes. Pancreatic islet pathology in type 2 diabetes is characterized by reduced β-cell… Expand

A new in vitro model for the study of pancreatic A and B cells.
A method is developed for the preparation of single, pure, and viable rat pancreatic A and B cells in numbers sufficient for in vitro analysis. Islet isolation and dissociation techniques have been… Expand
