Something positive about Norwegian winter? Cold memories control whole-body thermoregulatory responses by Ulrik Larsen Exposure to cold induces long-lasting changes in physiology that persist beyond the cold period itself. This study investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon,…
WNT-4 real? A proposed paracrine player in β-cell function and glycemic control by Ulrik Larsen Diabetes is a multifactorial disorder commonly characterized by the loss or dysfunction of pancreatic β-cell, which play a central role in insulin secretion. β-cells have…
by Ulrik Larsen Glucagon is traditionally seen as a pancreas-specific hormone, but evidence suggests an extra-pancreatic source that responds abnormally to oral glucose in diabetic patients. This study investigates whether the intestine could be responsible for this unexpected glucagon secretion. …
Here, we investigated the regenerative response of pancreatic islets following moderate beta-cell loss in mice using two diffenet models: one rapid beta-cell targeted synchronous cell death by using the RIPDTR model, and one slow heterogeneous cell death by using streptozotocin…
