1. Pancreatic Endocrine Tumourigenesis : Genes of potential importance
Abstract : Understanding signalling pathways that control pancreatic endocrine tumour (PET) development and proliferation may reveal novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The pathogenesis for sporadic and hereditary PETs, apart from mutations of the MEN1 and VHL tumour suppressor genes, is still elusive. READ MORE

2. Somatostatin Receptor Expression and Biological Functions in Endocrine Pancreatic Cells
Abstract : Type 1 diabetes is resulting from the selective destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells within the pancreatic islets. Somatostatin acts as an inhibitor of hormone secretion through specific receptors (sst1-5). READ MORE

3. Characterizing the pancreatic "isletome" : 3D optical imaging to study diabetes
Abstract : 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. READ MORE

4. Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours
Abstract : Aspects on Diagnosis and Treatment of Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumours Background. Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) originate from endocrine cells of the intestinal mucosa and pancreas. READ MORE

5. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in pancreatic cancer cell aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance and the potential role for pancreatic endocrine cells in islet transplantation
Abstract : Tissue hypoxia results from an inadequate supply of oxygen (O2) that compromises biologic functions in various tissues, including both normal and malignant. It is known that a heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) mainly mediates this critical adaptation. READ MORE
