Journal Club: Real time somatostatin detection assay reveals somatostatin hypersecretion in T2D patient derived single islets

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 Bisphenol S (BPS) is extensively utilized in various commercial and manufacturing products, including cleaning detergents, plating solvents, phenolic resins, and thermal paper. Previous studies have demonstrated that BPS is closely associated with acute cytotoxicity, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity,…

Research Paper: Mapping the initial effects of carcinogen-induced oncogenic transformation in the mouse bladder

Here, Kayko investigated the proteomic landscape changes along a timeline within the 12 days of treatment with a potent carcinogen, BBN (N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine), to understand how oncogenic transformation occurs in mouse bladder. By combining transgenic models, TMT-plex proteomics, pathway analysis,…
