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

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

    Abstract : 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.

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Colours of Diabetes : advances and novel applications of molecular optical techniques for studies of the pancreas

    Author : Christoffer Nord; Ulf Ahlgren; Ian Smyth; Umeå universitet; []

    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

    Abstract : The mouse pancreas is a mixed exocrine and endocrine glandconsisting of three lobular compartments: the splenic, duodenal and gastric lobes. During embryogenesis, the pancreas forms from two progenitor populations located on the dorsal and ventral side of the primitive gut tube. READ MORE
