    Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease of severe insulin deficiency through loss of β cells in the endocrine pancreas. The T1D dogma maintains that a precipitating event unleashes autoimmunity in at-risk individuals, often measured through autoantibodies against β cell antigens. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Optical projection tomography based 3D-spatial and quantitative assessments of the diabetic pancreas

    Författare :Tomas Alanentalo; Ulf Ahlgren; Raphael Scharfmann; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nkx; development; optical projection tomography; 3D visualisation; pancreas; beta-cell mass; insulitis; diabetes; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract comprises a number of digestive organs including the stomach and pancreas. The stomach is involved in the digestion and short term storage of food while the pancreas is a mixed endocrine and exocrine gland which provides the body with hormones and enzymes essential for nutritional utilisation.

  4. 3. The Impact of Pancreatic Islet Vascular Heterogeneity on Beta Cell Function and Disease

    Författare :Sara Ullsten; Per-Ola Carlsson; Joey Lau; Sara Bohman; Rebecca L. Hull; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pancreatic islets; heterogeneity; islet vascularity; blood flow; islet transplantation; islet amyloid; insulitis; type 1 diabetes; beta cell proliferation; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Diabetes Mellitus is a group of complex and heterogeneous metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. Even though the condition has been extensively studied, its causes and complex pathologies are still not fully understood. The occurring damage to the pancreatic islets is strikingly heterogeneous.

  5. 4. Murine insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus : a model for disease development and protection

    Författare :Björn Pilström; Dan Holmberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is an autoimmune disease caused by destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic Langerhans' islets. This destruction is preceded by an infiltration of mononuclear leukocytes called insulitis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Molecular and cellular mechanisms in the development of IDDM in non-obese diabetic mice

    Författare :Cecilia Rietz; Inger Lundkvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is a disease caused by autoimmune destruction of the insulin producing b cells in the pancreas. The leukocytic infiltration into the b cell islets preceding disease is called insulitis. LÄS MER
