What are Stem Cells?

  Stem cells are undifferentiated self regenerating multi potential cells. There are three types of stem cells categories by the ability to form after cells and correlated with the body’s development process. Totipotent: these stem cells can form an entire organism such as fertilized egg. Ploripotent: ploripotent cells are those that can form any cell in the body but cannot form an entire organ...

Development 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...

GABA in the Endocrine Pancreas

-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a principal nonpeptidal neurotransmitter with a well-characterized role as an inhibitor of neuronal firing in the CNS (Cherubini et al., 1991; Thomas-Reetz and De Camilli, 1994). GABA is also found in other tissues, such as the endocrine pancreas (Thomas-Reetz and De Camilli, 1994). In the neuron, GABA is synthesized in close proximity to synaptic vesicles, it is pr...

Centroacinar 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...

What are the functions of exosomes?

What are exosomes? Exosomes are 40–150 nm extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by all cell types (1–3). The definition of the term exosomes has evolved with time (2), and in this review, exosomes are defined as small EVs with a multivesicular endosomal origin (2). This definition is challenged by the experimental difficulties associated with the study of exosomes, as the enriched exosome prepa...
