Disallowed and Allowed Gene Expression: Two Faces of Mature Islet Beta Cells
5 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
Glucose homeostasis greatly depends on the match between fluctuating insulin demands and adjusted rates of insulin secretion, which is the function of pancreatic beta cells. Emerging evidence suggests that when neonatal beta cells mature, they acquire two faces of differentiated function: an expected "visible face" that depends on specific beta cell proteins needed for regulated insulin release, but also a...
