Development and Regeneration in the Endocrine Pancreas
The pancreas is composed of two compartments that deliver digestive enzymes and endocrine hormones to control the blood sugar level. The endocrine pancreas consists of functional units organized into cell clusters called islets of Langerhans where insulin-producing cells are found in the core and surrounded by glucagon-, somatostatin-, pancreatic polypeptide-, and ghrelin-producing cells. Diabe...

15 صفحه اولEpigenetics in formation, function, and failure of the endocrine pancreas
BACKGROUND Epigenetics, in the broadest sense, governs all aspects of the life of any multicellular organism, as it controls how differentiated cells arrive at their unique phenotype during development and differentiation, despite having a uniform (with some exceptions such as T-cells and germ cells) genetic make-up. The endocrine pancreas is no exception. Transcriptional regulators and epigene...
متن کاملCentroacinar Cells Are Progenitors That Contribute to Endocrine Pancreas Regeneration
Diabetes is associated with a paucity of insulin-producing β-cells. With the goal of finding therapeutic routes to treat diabetes, we aim to find molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in β-cell neogenesis and regeneration. To facilitate discovery of such mechanisms, we use a vertebrate organism where pancreatic cells readily regenerate. The larval zebrafish pancreas contains Notch-responsi...
متن کاملDevelopment of the endocrine pancreas.
This short review presents the recent breakthroughts in our understanding of the important steps controlling pancreas morphogenesis and differentiation, and on the transcription factors regulating pancreas organogenesis and islet cell differentiation and involved in the specification of the beta and alpha cell lineages. All these studies should permit a comprehensive view of the full genetic pr...
