Pancreatic islet plasticity: Interspecies comparison of islet architecture and composition

Donald Steiner, Abraham Kim, Kevin Miller et al. · 1 May 2010

The pancreatic islet displays diverse patterns of endocrine cell arrangement. The prototypic islet, with insulin-secreting beta-cells forming the core surrounded by other endocrine cells in the periphery, is largely based on studies of normal rodent islets. Recent reports on large animals, including humans, show a difference in islet architecture, in which the endocrine cells are…

Islet architecture: A comparative study

Abraham Kim, Kevin Miller, Junghyo Jo et al. · 1 Sep 2009

Emerging reports on the organization of the different hormone-secreting cell types (alpha, glucagon; beta, insulin; and delta, somatostatin) in human islets have emphasized the distinct differences between human and mouse islets, raising questions about the relevance of studies of mouse islets to human islet physiology. Here, we examine the differences and similarities between the architecture…

Structural similarities and differences between the human and the mouse pancreas

Jurij Dolenšek, Marjan Slak Rupnik, Andraž Stožer · 2 Jan 2015

Mice remain the most studied animal model in pancreas research. Since the findings of this research are typically extrapolated to humans, it is important to understand both similarities and differences between the 2 species. Beside the apparent difference in size and macroscopic organization of the organ in the 2 species, there are a number of…

Heavy metals, islet function and diabetes development

Ya‐Wen Chen, Ching‐Yao Yang, Chun Fa Huang et al. · 1 Nov 2009

It has long been believed that heavy metals possess many adverse health effects. Uncontrolled industrialization has released heavy metal pollution in the world. Heavy metal pollutants damage organ functions and disrupt physiological homeostasis. Diabetes mellitus is growing in prevalence worldwide. Several studies have indicated that the deficiency and efficiency of some essential trace metals may…

Insulitis in human type 1 diabetes

Pieter In 'T Veld · 1 Jul 2011

The histopathology of type 1 diabetes is defined by a decreased β-cell mass in association with insulitis, a characteristic lymphocytic infiltration limited to the islets of Langerhans and prominent in early stage disease in children. A cytotoxic T-cell mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells is thought to be initiated by an unknown (auto)antigen, leading to the…
