Diabetes
. 2024 Dec;
74(3):355-367.
PMID: 39715591
Article Highlights: Different components of the renin-angiotensin system are expressed by vascular cells in human pancreatic islets. The islet microvasculature is responsive to vasoactive angiotensin peptides. This pancreatic renin-angiotensin system...

. 2024 Sep;
15(1):8132.
PMID: 39284802
Mucopolysaccharidoses are inherited metabolic disorders caused by the deficiency in lysosomal enzymes required to break down glycosaminoglycans. Accumulation of glycosaminoglycans leads to progressive, systemic degenerative disease. The central nervous system...

Cell Rep
. 2023 Aug;
42(8):112913.
PMID: 37531253
Pancreatic islets are endocrine organs that depend on their microvasculature to function. Along with endothelial cells, pericytes comprise the islet microvascular network. These mural cells are crucial for microvascular stability...

Diabetes
. 2023 Jun;
72(9):1262-1276.
PMID: 37343239
Article Highlights: Mitochondrial metabolism is critical for β-cell insulin secretion, and mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in type 2 diabetes pathogenesis. We determined whether individual oxidative phosphorylation complexes contribute uniquely to...

Nat Neurosci
. 2023 Mar;
26(4):555-569.
PMID: 36928635
Myelin degeneration occurs in neurodegenerative diseases and aging. In these conditions, resident oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) differentiate into oligodendrocytes that carry out myelin repair. To investigate the cellular dynamics underlying...

Diabetes
. 2022 May;
71(8):1679-1693.
PMID: 35587617
The pancreatic islet depends on blood supply to efficiently sense plasma glucose levels and deliver insulin and glucagon into the circulation. Long believed to be passive conduits of nutrients and...

PMID: 35089805
Background: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) have tremendous promise for application in cardiac regeneration, but their translational potential is limited by an immature phenotype. We hypothesized that large-scale...

160(3):875-888.e11.
PMID: 33121946
Background And Aims: Destroying visceral sensory nerves impacts pancreatic islet function, glucose metabolism, and diabetes onset, but how islet endocrine cells interact with sensory neurons has not been studied. Methods:...
