Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of connexin36 channels alters beta-cell coupling, islet synchronization of glucose-induced Ca2+ and insulin oscillations, and basal insulin release.

TL;DR: Data show that Cx36-dependent signaling is essential for the proper functioning of beta-cells, particularly for the pulsatility of [Ca(2+)](i) and insulin secretion during glucose stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhamnolipids Are Virulence Factors That Promote Early Infiltration of Primary Human Airway Epithelia by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

TL;DR: The study provides direct evidence for a hitherto unknown mechanism whereby the junction-dependent barrier of the respiratory epithelium is selectively altered by rhamnolipid-deficient P. aeruginosa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of PKD by the MAPK p38δ in Insulin Secretion and Glucose Homeostasis

TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38δ display improved glucose tolerance due to enhanced insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells, pointing to a pivotal role for this pathway in the development of overt diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes in MicroRNA Expression Contribute to Pancreatic β-Cell Dysfunction in Prediabetic NOD Mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that changes in the level of miR-29 family members contribute to cytokine-mediated β-cell dysfunction occurring during the initial phases of type 1 diabetes.
