Journal ArticleDOI

A map of open chromatin in human pancreatic islets

TL;DR: It is found that human islet samples heterozygous for rs7903146 showed allelic imbalance in islet FAIRE signals and that the variant alters enhancer activity, indicating that genetic variation at this locus acts in cis with local chromatin and regulatory changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique arrangement of alpha- and beta-cells in human islets of Langerhans

TL;DR: Human islets have a unique architecture allowing all endocrine cells to be adjacent to blood vessels and favoring heterologous contacts between β- and α-cells, while permitting homologous contact between α- and β-cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sulfonylurea induced beta-cell apoptosis in cultured human islets

TL;DR: Closure of the inwardly rectifying K(+) sulfonylurea receptor subtype of ATP-sensitive potassium channels induces beta-cell apoptosis in human islets and may precipitate the decrease in beta- cell mass observed in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can express insulin and key transcription factors of the endocrine pancreas developmental pathway upon genetic and/or microenvironmental manipulation in vitro

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that in vitro human bone marrow stem cells are able to differentiate into insulin‐expressing cells by a mechanism involving several transcription factors of the beta‐cell developmental pathway when cultured in an appropriate microenvironment.
