  • Many key steps of endocrine cell differentiation have been well-characterized, but whether the architecture of the microenvironment containing the progenitors is important for proper endocrine development has remained in question. (cshlpress.com)
  • Our work shows that developing pancreatic tubes organize into a weblike network (as opposed to a branching tree of tubes found in the mature pancreas) and create a home that promotes endocrine cell generation. (cshlpress.com)
  • Formation of more of these tubes results in more endocrine cells. (cshlpress.com)
  • Endocrine cell deficiency leads to diabetes, which can theoretically be cured by providing functional endocrine cells to patients. (cshlpress.com)
  • Recent advances in stem cell biology have enabled us to make endocrine-like cells in the lab. (cshlpress.com)
  • These findings suggest that lab-made endocrine cells could be improved by developing these cells in a microenvironment that resembles their birthplace. (cshlpress.com)
  • This suggestion is supported by a recent boost in endocrine cell generation when the cells were grown in a 3-dimensional matrix, demonstrating that tissue conformation is influential to proper endocrine expansion and differentiation. (cshlpress.com)
  • For decades, researchers in the pancreas development and diabetes fields have been trying to understand how endocrine cells are made. (cshlpress.com)
  • Cells are grouped in homogenous tracts arranged in nodules. (jortho.org)
  • Plant cells behave qualitatively similar to biological tissue. (uni-stuttgart.de)
  • Biological tissue behaves capacitively in an alternating electric field and exhibits frequency-dependent changes. (uni-stuttgart.de)
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common lesion of striated muscle cell origin arising in the head and neck region. (radiologykey.com)
