The paracrinology of tubal ectopic pregnancy.

As part of successful human reproduction, the Fallopian tube must provide a suitable environment for pre-implantation development of the embryo and for efficient transport of the embryo to the uterus for implantation. These functions are coordinated by paracrine interactions between tubal epithelial, smooth muscle and immune cells and the cells of the developing embryo. Alterations in these sig...

New results have brought to light the importance of the regulation of glucagon by β-cells in the development of diabetes. In this perspective, we examine the normal paracrinology of α- and β-cells in nondiabetic pancreatic islets. We propose a Sherringtonian model of coordinated reciprocal secretory responses of these juxtaposed cells that secrete glucagon and insulin, hormones with opposing ac...
