Autonomous and self-sustained circadian oscillators displayed in human islet cells
14 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Following on from the emerging importance of the pancreas circadian clock on islet function and the development of type 2 diabetes in rodent models, we aimed to examine circadian gene expression in human islets. The oscillator properties were assessed in intact islets as well as in beta cells. METHODS: We established a system for long-term bioluminescence recording in cultured human islets,...
