miR-7 Modulates hESC Differentiation into Insulin-Producing Beta-like Cells and Contributes to Cell Maturation
(The American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, 2018-09-07)
Human pluripotent stem cells retain the extraordinary capacity to differentiate into pancreatic beta cells. For this particular lineage, more effort is still required to stress the importance of developing an efficient, ...

LRH-1 agonism favours an immune-islet dialogue which protects against diabetes mellitus
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-04-16)
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is due to the selective destruction of islet beta cells by immune cells. Current therapies focused on repressing the immune attack or stimulating beta cell regeneration still have limited ...

Oestrogen receptor β mediates the actions of bisphenol-A on ion channel expression in mouse pancreatic beta cells
(Springer Nature, 2019-09)
Aims/hypothesis: Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a widespread endocrine-disrupting chemical that has been associated with type 2 diabetes development. Low doses of BPA modify pancreatic beta cell function and induce insulin resistance; ...

TRP Channels: Current Perspectives in the Adverse Cardiac Remodeling
(Frontiers Media, 2019)
Calcium is an important second messenger required not only for the excitation-contraction coupling of the heart but also critical for the activation of cell signaling pathways involved in the adverse cardiac remodeling and ...

Resveratrol Ameliorates the Maturation Process of β-Cell-Like Cells Obtained from an Optimized Differentiation Protocol of Human Embryonic Stem Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) retain the extraordinary capacity to differentiate into different cell types of an adult organism, including pancreatic β-cells. For this particular lineage, although a lot of effort has ...

Urocortin-2 Prevents Dysregulation of Ca2+ Homeostasis and Improves Early Cardiac Remodeling After Ischemia and Reperfusion
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-07-03)
Aims: Urocortin-2 (Ucn-2) is a potent cardioprotector against Ischemia and Reperfusion (I/R) injuries. However, little is known about its role in the regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) under I/R. Here, ...

EGF-induced adipose tissue mesothelial cells undergo functional vascular smooth muscle differentiation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Recent studies suggested that the post-natal mesothelium retain differentiative potential of the embryonic mesothelium, which generates fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), in developing coelomic organs ...

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Prevent Neurological Complications of Radiotherapy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-05-16)
Radiotherapy is a highly effective tool for the treatment of brain cancer. However, radiation also causes detrimental effects in the healthy tissue, leading to neurocognitive sequelae that compromise the quality of life ...

Impact of transient down-regulation of DREAM in human embryonic stem cell pluripotency: The role of DREAM in the maintenance of hESCs
(Elsevier, 2016)
Little is knownabout the functions of downstreamregulatory element antagonist modulator (DREAM) inembryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, DREAM interacts with cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) in a Ca2+-dependent ...

Zn2+ chelation by serum albumin improves hexameric Zn2+ -insulin dissociation into monomers after exocytosis
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
β-cells release hexameric Zn2+-insulin into the extracellular space, but monomeric Zn2+-free insulin appears to be the only biologically active form. The mechanisms implicated in dissociation of the hexamer remain unclear, ...
