  2. 1. Role of Cell-cell Interactions and Palmitate on β-cells Function

    Author : Azazul Islam Chowdhury; Peter Bergsten; Gunilla Westermark; Peter Jones; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Metabolism; PI3K; Pseudoislets; Human islets; SOCS; PIAS; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The islets of Langerhans secrets insulin in response to fluctuations of blood glucose level and efficient secretion requires extensive intra-islet communication. Secretory failure from islets is one of the hallmark in progression of type 2 diabetes. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Dynamics of Innovation and Knowledge-Based Regional Development

    Author : Peter Svensson; Magnus Klofsten; Per-Olof Brehmer; Dylan Jones-Evans; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Innovation process; dynamics; knowledge-based regional development; social networks; entrepreneurship; Business and economics; Ekonomi;

    Abstract : Geographical regions as diverse as Silicon Valley, California and Linköping, Sweden have been the sources of new technology and endogenously created innovations. Scholars and policymakers recognise that specific regions or clusters of businesses have the capability to engage in more innovative activities and new business formation and to experience higher employment growth than others.
