Our recent study on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors initial response to in vivo is now published: The main goal of this study was to demultiplex and characterize the initial response of the hiPSC-derived differentiating pancreatic progenitors to the in vivo…
Our study on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors in vitro differentiation is now published: The main goal of this study was to characterize the impact of cell confinement on the pancreatic islet signature during the guided in vitro differentiation of alginate…
Simona has been invited by the organizers Raphaël Scharfmann, Philippe Froguel and Gérard Gradwohlto to give a plenary talk on Islet Cell Plasticity: cellular and molecular mechanisms of islet cell fate and interconversion at this year’s EASD Islet Study Group…
Our latest work on iPSC-derived human pancreatic progenitors differentiation is now out for Early View: The main goal of this study was to characterize global effect of brief and prolonged in vivo hyperglycaemia exposure on the cell fate acquisition and…
I’ve been invited by the organizers Johan Fernø, Valeriya Lyssenko, Ola Hansson and Pernille Svalastoga to give a plenary talk on Beta Cell Fate at this year’s Obesity and Diabetes Nordic meeting: Prediabetes and Obesity – whom to treat and…
Congratulations to Andreas Mathisen, who has received a 4-years PhD fellowship from the Faculty of Medicine, UiB. #PhDlife Andreas will start his project early 2020 working on complex genetic setups in order to dynamically characterize the surviving β-cell feedback to…
Our latest review on regeneration breaks in different animal models is now out for Early View. We discuss about: Most attention on tissue regeneration has focused on the exploration of positive cues promoting or allowing the engagement of natural cellular…
Congratulation to Yngvild for her published article, in which our collaborators show that: some reprogrammed cell lines present an unstable state leading to spontaneously differentiate and change their cellular phenotype and colony morphology; by comparing the proteome landscapes of 20…
The Preprint Highlighters Sergio Menchero, Jesus Victorino, Teresa Rayon, Irepan Salvador-Martinez came with a great idea of listing all the preprints presented at EDBC 2019 currently taking place in Alicante, Spain. Of course, our own first preprint is included 🙂…
The 17th World Congress of the International Pancreas and Islet Transplant Association was held on 2-5 July 2019 in Lyon, France; gathering nearly 350 attendees from over 30 countries to discuss the latest developments in pancreatic beta cell replacement to…
For a fantastic presentation today and a perfect exam! Good job! Master Thesis Title: “Mapping β-cell senescence and proliferation quiescence in wild-type and diabetic mice” External examiner: Marijana Licina Internal examiner: Karl Johan Tronstad Supervisors: Assoc. Prof. Simona Chera, Dr.…
