Collaboration Paper: Stage-specific transcriptomic changes in pancreatic α-cells after massive β-cell loss
A detailed study into alpha-cells transcriptional changes upon massive ablation of beta-cells carried out in collaboration with Dr. Santiago Rodríguez-Seguí and Prof. Pedro Herrera groups was published today, and we show that: α-cells undergo stage-specific transcriptional changes 5- and 15-days…

Research Paper: glucose effects on human pancreatic progenitor differentiation
Our latest work on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors differentiation is now out for Early View: The main goal of this study was to assess the effects of elevated glucose concentrations exposure during the last stages of guided in vitro differentiation…
Grant award: NNF Ascending Investigator Grant
We are very happy and grateful to the Novo Nordic Foundation @novonordiskfond that will continue to support our research for the next 5 years! We are delighted to continue our work on the role of somatostatin-producing delta-cells in monogenic diabetes.…
Book Chapter: A Method for Encapsulation and Transplantation into Diabetic Mice of hiPSC-Derived Pancreatic Progenitors
Pancreatic islet endocrine cells generated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells represent a great strategy for both disease modeling and regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, these cells inherently miss the effects of the intricate network of systemic signals characterizing the living organisms.…
