A Minimal Exercise Extension for Models of the Glucoregulatory System

Denis Gillet, Grégory François, Thierry Prud'Homme, Alain Bock

For patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, appropriate control of blood glucose concentrations is vital. Exercise is one of the disturbances that can affect these concentrations. Therefore, predictions in the presence of exercise are useful among others f ...

Wnt Signaling in Pancreas Development and Cancer

Marine Marie Kraus

During early somite stages of development, the broad endoderm-derived foregut and hindgut territories become further subdivided along the antero-posterior axis into organs. One of these organs is the pancreas which serves two major physiological functions: ...

Towards high resolution optical imaging of beta cells in vivo

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Martin Villiger, Joan Goulley, Erica Martin-Williams

Endocrine beta cells produce and release insulin in order to tightly regulate glucose homeostasis and prevent metabolic pathologies such as Diabetes Mellitus. Optical imaging has contributed greatly to our current understanding of beta cell structure and f ...

An assessment of ductus venosus tapering and wave transmission from the fetal heart

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Pressure and flow pulsations in the fetal heart propagate through the precordial vein and the ductus venosus (DV) but are normally not transmitted into the umbilical vein (UV). Pulsations in the umbilical vein do occur, however, in early pregnancy and in p ...

Molecular selective interface for an implantable glucose sensor based on the viscosity variation of a sensitive fluid containing dextran and Concanavalin A

Diabetes mellitus is a globally growing disease with more than 180 million cases worldwide and no cure exists. In order to minimize the many medical complications, tight glucose monitoring has been shown to be the best alternative. Many diabetics require i ...

In vivo imaging of murine endocrine islets of Langerhans with extended-focus optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Anne Grapin-Botton, Martin Villiger, Joan Goulley

Aims/hypothesis Structural and functional imaging of the islets of Langerhans and the insulin-secreting beta cells represents a significant challenge and a long-lasting objective in diabetes research. In vivo microscopy offers a valuable insight into beta ...
