Wow! Mathematical modelling of insulin secretion, integrating many upstream and downstream processes - including dual effects of H2O2 and NADPH (and SENP1) at distinct points in secretion. From some colleagues in Maribor. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our new preprint presents 3D light-sheet imaging of the intact islet, focusing on β-cell subpopulations that lead and coordinate islet Ca2+ oscillations. Great collaboration between Erli Jin, @JenniferKBriggs, and @BennyScience . biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Meet MagLOV: an engineered protein that responds STRONGLY to magnetic fields. This is a fluorescence timelapse of MagLOV in E. coli. We're waving a (small) magnet under the plate. Can you tell where the magnet is? Want some? It's on Addgene now! addgene.org/219957/

Here, Lewandowski and team from @JCampbellLab score a goal for GIP not only being a strong potentiator of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, but also of amino acid-stimulated glucagon secretion. Can this knowledge be used to counter hypos in #T1D? doi.org/10.1152/ajpend…
