Journal ArticleDOI

Establishment of 2-mercaptoethanol-dependent differentiated insulin-secreting cell lines.

TL;DR: New insulin-secreting cell lines established from cells isolated from an x-ray-induced rat transplantable insulinoma indicate that INS-1 cells have remained stable and retain a high degree of differentiation which should make them a suitable model for studying various aspects of beta-cell function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane Remodeling Induced by the Dynamin-Related Protein Drp1 Stimulates Bax Oligomerization

TL;DR: It is shown that Drp1 stimulates tBid-induced Bax oligomerization and cytochrome c release by promoting tethering and hemifusion of membranes in vitro by exploiting arginine 247 and the presence of cardiolipin in membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of Chemokines by Perivascular Adipose Tissue: A Role in the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis?

TL;DR: It is proposed that pWAT might contribute to the progression of obesity-associated atherosclerosis, and the accumulation of macrophages and T cells at the interface between pWat and the adventitia of human atherosclerotic aortas may reflect this prochemotactic activity of pW AT.
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.
