  4. 12. Leukocytes in Angiogenesis : Learning from Transplanted Pancreatic Islets

    Author : Gustaf Christoffersson; Mia Phillipson; Kristian Pietras; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; angiogenesis; pancreatic islet transplantation; islets of Langerhans; diabetes mellitus; leukocytes; neutrophils; macrophages; pericytes; MMP-9; VEGF-A; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Angiogenesis, the growth of new blood vessels, is a complex process involving several cell types and molecular signals. Excessive vascular growth is a problem in tumors, and insufficient vascularization hampers the function of transplanted insulin-producing pancreatic islets. READ MORE

  5. 13. Mechanisms of alloxan diabetogenicity

    Author : Kjell Grankvist; Inge-Bert Täljedal; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alloxan; catalase; experimental diabetes; free radicals; islets of Langerhans; rubidium accumulation; superoxide dismutase; Trypan Blue;

    Abstract : Suspensions of pancreatic islet cells from ob/ob-mice were incubated with Trypan Blue. Microscope photometry showed that apparently viable cells excluded the dye completely, whereas the nuclei of non-viable cells accumulated Trypan Blue by a saturable process. READ MORE

    Abstract : Diabetes is a rapidly increasing health problem. In a global perspective,approximately 415 million people suffered from diabetes in 2015 and this number ispredicted to increase to 640 million by 2040. To tackle this pandemic there is a needfor better analytical tools by which we can increase our understanding of the disease. READ MORE
