This week’s journal club focuses on a study from non-coding RNA (2025) aiming to to investigate the roles of the mouse homolog of Hnf1aos1 in liver function, gene expression, and cellular processes.
This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Frontiers in Immunology (2025) aiming to assess the role of autophagy in b-cell health and survival, and whether defects in autophagy render islets more immunogenic.
Can Sex Difference shape glucose regulation? by Shayla Sharmine This week’s journal club focuses on a study from Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (2025) exploring the protective role of estrogen in glucose regulation. To explore the impact of sex difference,…
Shayla Sharmine and I had the opportunity to write an editorial about recent work published in Acta Physiologica on the role of Decorin on pancreatic islets. Shayla did a really great job on generating a nice figure summarising the published…
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…
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…
A Short visit to the research: by Shayla Sharmine Intermittent fasting (IF) is a widely studied dietary intervention known for its metabolic benefits, including improved glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. While IF has shown positive effects in adult and aging…
