Mature and immature β-cells both contribute to islet function and insulin release
2020-07-21
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Transcriptionally mature and immature β-cells co-exist within the adult islet. How such diversity contributes to insulin release remains poorly understood. Here we show that differences in β-cell maturity, defined using PDX1 and MAFA expression, are required for proper islet operation. Functional mapping of rodent and human islets containing proportionally more mature β-cells revealed d...
