by Lucas Unger This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Science Advances (2022) describing how predator-prey evolution has generated several somatostatin analogs used in venoms.
It’s hard to believe that Thomas is leaving us! While we will miss your presence here, we know you will achieve great things in your new adventure.
by Agnes Sandvik: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from BMC Genomics (2024) using single-cell sequencing datasets to characterize the transcriptional identity of islets from in vitro differentiation, fetal islets, and adult islets

by Fatemeh Rahmatabadi: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. (2017) promoting Cantrixil as a promising anti-cancer agent targeting resilient cancer-stem–cell populations.
This study proposes hiPSCs derived SC-islet differentiation as model to study development impact of EDCs on human pancreatic endocrine cell development and maturation. Using a cocktail of BPA, BPS and trans-nonachlor provided comparable results with in vivo studies of fetus exposure to BPA. Congratulations June, Thomas and Lucas!
Our collaboration with our neighbouring lab continues with Ksenia performing quantitative label-free mass spectrometry, by employing both data-dependent and data-independent acquisition methods, on our cell line model for HNF1A “hot-spot” mutation. Lucas performed in vitro differentiation until pancreatic progenitor stage…
On the occasion of World Diabetes Day, we invite you to a lunch seminar. The seminar starts with lunch at 11:00 in the auditorium in Glasblokkene, Block 8, and will offer two exciting lectures from Simon Dankel and Thomas Aga Legøy that will shed light on current topics within diabetes research.
by Ulrik: This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Nature (2025) characterizing the early cellular changes that might lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy in young athletes exposed to repetitive head impacts.
Our work on the impact of diet challenges on Hnf1a-deficient beta-cells is now published in Acta Physiologica! Congratulations Shayla, Thomas and Lucas!
