Great work Mark, Mohammad and co. Nice to see this out- congratulations!

Nice work Scott!

Role of GLP1-receptor-mediated α-β-cell communication in functional β-cell heterogeneity. While the islet β-cells were traditionally viewed as a singular functional entity, findings of 1970s and up until recent years, reveal that individual β-cells differ in their calcium dynamics and insu...

Check out this pre-print from Vira Kravets, Andraz Stozer and myself, for the influence of alpha cells on heterogenous islet Ca2+ responses, including first-responders and first phase timing/amplitude. Was great to be part of this!

For sure- all the feasible alternatives keep dropping!

Apparently NIH is seeking to impose a standard 15% indirect cost rate going forward. That will be disruptive to say the least:

Resolving spatiotemporal electrical signaling within the islet via CMOS microelectrode arrays Glucose-stimulated beta-cells exhibit synchronized calcium dynamics across the islet that recruit beta-cells to enhance insulin secretion. Compared to calc

Mainly type1 diabetes, but there are a few things relevant type2 as well. But lots of exciting things going on in type1 research at the moment!

Particularly passionate about Colorado, islet biology and microscopy!

Hello everyone- I work in diabetes research and will post about our research, but also like to follow and comment on English football (soccer) and American football (football).
