  1. 1. Diabetes in 3D : β-cell mass assessments in disease models & evaluation of SPECT based imaging

    Författare :Saba Parween; Ulf Ahlgren; Helena Edlund; Eckhard Lammert; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Optical projection tomography; Diabetes; β-cell mass; disease etiology; 3D imaging; radiotracers; Single photon emission computed tomography; molekylär medicin genetik och patologi ; molecular medicine  genetics and pathology ;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes is a rapidly growing disease with 415 million affected adults worldwide. The pancreatic endocrine cells, most importantly the insulin producing β-cells, play an important role in regulating blood glucose homeostasis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. β-cell dysfunction in Huntington's disease

    Författare :Karl Bacos; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; metabolism; secretion; Insulin; trafficking; R6 2 mouse; granule; exocytosis; neurodegeneration; huntingtin;

    Sammanfattning : Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, is associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus. The reason for this is unknown, but considering the functional similarities of neurons and the insulin secreting pancreatic β-cell, pathological mechanisms may be shared by both cell types and account for neuronal as well as endocrine dysfunction.

    Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), Graves’ disease (GD), and autoimmune Addison’s disease (AD) appear to share immunogenetic mechanisms. This idea is not novel, as “autoimmune tautology” is an established concept. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Characterizing the pancreatic "isletome" : 3D optical imaging to study diabetes

    Författare :Max Hahn; Ulf Ahlgren; András Gorzsás; Leif Carlsson; Alvin C. Powers; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 3D imaging; fluorescence microscopy; 3D image analysis; technique development; diabetes; Islet of Langerhans; Insulin; β-cell mass; pancreas; anatomy; molecular medicine medical sciences ; molekylär medicin medicinska vetenskaper ; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The pancreas is a specialised multipurpose organ, that can be separated into two major compartments: endocrine and exocrine. The exocrine part makes up the majority of the organ volume and functions to secrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Novel insights into the role of serotonin in control of β-cell fuction

    Författare :Hedvig Bennet; Celiaki och diabetes; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Inadequate insulin secretion is a central component in the development of Diabetes Mellitus, resulting from reduced pancreatic β-cell mass, as well as diminished β-cell function. Islet produced 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT) is suggested to regulate insulin secretion and β-cell mass in rodents during pregnancy and in metabolically challenged states. LÄS MER
