Scientists use scanning tunneling microscopy to understand how a material's electronic or magnetic properties relate to its ...

The research team found that fibrillar collagen I , a form of collagen that becomes more abundant in diabetic pancreatic tissue, creates a sticky surface that attracts amylin. Instead of floating ...

“Although the detailed mechanism for the stimulation of intra-islet GLP-1 secretion remains to be elucidated and further studies are required, as far as we know, our present study is the first ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, introduced a groundbreaking transmission electron microscope to a packed room of a ...

Under ND rosuvastatin lowered blood glucose through improved insulin sensitivity and increased glucose uptake in adipose tissue. In vitro rosuvastatin reduced insulin secretion and insulin content in ...

Pancreatic β-cells are responsible for secreting insulin in a tightly regulated process that is key to maintaining glucose homeostasis. Insulin vesicles undergo a complex functional maturation process ...

Next, what’s known as an optical gating pulse initiates, allowing an infinitesimal timeframe for a one-attosecond electron pulse to then emit from the microscope.

After ARHGAP21 knockdown induction by antisense injection in 60-day old male mice, we investigated glucose and insulin tolerance test, glucose-induced insulin secretion, glucose-induced intracellular ...

Conclusions: Insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion function may increase the risk of cancer, but the underlying mechanisms may differ by cancer type. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from ...

Quantification of sub cellular structures is necessary in understanding how cells function. This paper presents a segmentation algorithm for transmission electron microscopy images of insulin granule ...

6. The aforementioned processes described in this section converge to regulate systemic insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, food intake, energy expenditure, and body weight (Figure 1 and 2).

A recent study explored whether a molecule unrelated to insulin could perform the same role as insulin. Using cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers identified a small non-insulin-related ...
