Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2025 Jan; 15:1465818. PMID: 39764245
The neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) and its receptor (OXTR) have been shown to play an important role in glucose metabolism, and pancreatic islets express this ligand and receptor. In the current...

Andrade Barboza C, Mateus Goncalves L, Pereira E, Cruz R, Louzada R, Andrade Louzada R, et al.
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...

Seth N, Abujamra B, Boulina M, Lev-Tov H, Jozic I
JID Innov . 2023 Sep; 3(6):100223. PMID: 37731470
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition. HS disease management has proven difficult owing to an insufficient understanding of the immunological processes that drive its pathogenesis. We have...

Mateus Goncalves L, Qadir M, Boulina M, Makhmutova M, Pereira E, Almaca J
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...

DeSalvo J, Ban Y, Li L, Sun X, Jiang Z, Kerr D, et al.
J Clin Invest . 2021 May; 131(13). PMID: 33983905
Synovial sarcoma is an aggressive malignancy with no effective treatments for patients with metastasis. The synovial sarcoma fusion SS18-SSX, which recruits the SWI/SNF-BAF chromatin remodeling and polycomb repressive complexes, results...

Makhmutova M, Weitz J, Tamayo A, Pereira E, Boulina M, Almaca J, et al.
Gastroenterology . 2020 Oct; 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:...

Noller C, Boulina M, McNamara G, Szeto A, McCabe P, Mendez A
J Biomol Tech . 2016 May; 27(3):90-7. PMID: 27182204
Standards in quantitative fluorescent imaging are vaguely recognized and receive insufficient discussion. A common best practice is to acquire images at Nyquist rate, where highest signal frequency is assumed to...

Klein D, Alvarez-Cubela S, Lanzoni G, Vargas N, Prabakar K, Boulina M, et al.
Diabetes . 2015 Aug; 64(12):4123-34. PMID: 26307584
The exocrine pancreas can give rise to endocrine insulin-producing cells upon ectopic expression of key transcription factors. However, the need for genetic manipulation remains a translational hurdle for diabetes therapy....

Sharifai N, Samarajeewa H, Kamiyama D, Deng T, Boulina M, Chiba A
PLoS One . 2014 Mar; 9(2):e88870. PMID: 24586421
Protein interactions underlie the complexity of neuronal function. Potential interactions between specific proteins in the brain are predicted from assays based on genetic interaction and/or biochemistry. Genetic interaction reveals endogenous,...

Development . 2013 Mar; 140(7):1605-13. PMID: 23482495
We describe LOLLIbow, a Brainbow-based live imaging system with applications in developmental biology and neurobiology. The development of an animal, including the environmentally sensitive adaptation of its brain, is thought...
