by Shayla Sharmine The endocrine pancreas produces hormones that regulate glucose homeostasis in the body. Among three major regulatory hormone-producing cell types, delta cell is known to regulate the secretion of somatostatin that counter-regulates insulin and glucagon production through intra-islet…
by Thomas Aga Legøy Today, Nature published a new feature examining the most cited papers of the twenty-first century (Pearson et al., 2025). The most cited paper is naturally connected to the neural-inspired algorithms that laid the foundation for deep…
by Kaykobad Hossain Bladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most common cancer type worldwide. Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is the more aggressive type that is defined by invasion of the detrusor layer of the bladder and concurrent metastasis to adjacent…
WNT-4 real? A proposed paracrine player in β-cell function and glycemic control by Ulrik Larsen Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder commonly characterized by the loss or dysfunction of pancreatic β-cell, which play a central role in insulin secretion. β-cells have…
by Fatemeh Rahmatabadi Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive blood cancer marked by the rapid expansion of immature myeloblasts. Despite progress in targeted therapies, resistance remains a major obstacle, especially in patients with mutations that impact the MAPK and…
Rethinking the Overshadowed by Shayla Sharmine Glucose homeostasis in the human body is maintained through a delicate balance between glucose production, uptake, and storage, primarily regulated by endocrine hormones secreted from the pancreas. While insulin from β cells and glucagon…
Congratulations to Kayko who received funding from the L. Meltzers Universitetsstiftelse for the proposal titled ”Deciphering the role of WNT4 in bladder cancer using patient-derived organoids”! Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common cancer of the urinary tract and currently…
