The ULK1/2 and AMPK Inhibitor SBI-0206965 Blocks AICAR and Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport

Jonas Roland Knudsen

The small molecule kinase inhibitor SBI-0206965 was originally described as a specific inhibitor of ULK1/2. More recently, it was reported to effectively inhibit AMPK and several studies now report its use as an AMPK inhibitor. Currently, we investigated t ...

Anti-fibrotic effect of ketoprofen-grafted alginate microcapsules in the transplantation of insulin producing cells

Sandrine Gerber, Daniel Ortiz Trujillo, François Rémi Pierre Noverraz, Luca Szabó

The controlled release of small molecular modulators of the immune response from hydrogel microspheres (MS) used for cell immobilization is an attractive approach to reduce pericapsular fibrotic overgrowth (PFO) after transplantation. Ketoprofen is a well- ...

A multiscale study of the role of dynamin in the regulation of glucose uptake

Martinus Adela Maria Gijs, Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Laurent Mouchiroud, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Keir Joe Menzies, Maria Cristina Letizia

Glucose uptake in muscle cells in response to insulin is a fundamental mechanism for metabolism. The inability of cells to mobilize the specific glucose transporter GLUT4 is believed to be at least partially accountable for diseases, like diabetes, where c ...

Sexual dimorphism in hepatic lipids is associated with the evolution of metabolic status in mice

Rolf Gruetter, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares, Hongxia Lei, Marc Moniatte, Jonathan Paz Montoya

Ectopic lipid accumulation in the liver is implicated in metabolic disease in an age- and sex-dependent manner. The role of hepatic lipids has been well established within the scope of metabolic insults in mice, but has been insufficiently characterized un ...

Label-free fast 3D coherent imaging reveals pancreatic islet micro-vascularization and dynamic blood flow

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Daniel Pawel Szlag, Arno Pino Bouwens, Jérôme Extermann, Corinne Berclaz, Paul James Marchand, David Nguyen

In diabetes, pancreatic beta-cells play a key role. These cells are clustered within structures called islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas and produce insulin, which is directly secreted into the blood stream. The dense vascularization of islets of La ...
