White and brown adipose tissues are hypervascularized and the adipose vasculature
displays phenotypic and functional plasticity to coordinate with metabolic demands of …

The islets of Langerhans or pancreatic islets are pivotal in the control of blood glucose and
are complex microorgans embedded within the larger volume of the exocrine pancreas …

Successful strategies for treating type 1 diabetes need to restore the function of pancreatic
beta cells that are destroyed by the immune system and overcome further destruction of …

Determination of signaling pathways that regulate beta-cell replication is critical for beta-cell
therapy. Here, we show that blocking pancreatic macrophage infiltration after pancreatic …

Whether facultative β cell progenitors exist in the adult pancreas is a major unsolved
question. To date, lineage-tracing studies have provided conflicting results. To track β cell …

Within the pancreatic islet, the β-cell represents the ultimate biosensor. Its central function is
to accurately sense glucose levels in the blood and consequently release appropriate …

The intra-islet microvasculature is a critical interface between the blood and islet endocrine
cells governing a number of cellular and pathophysiological processes associated with the …
