body. For those of us who have dedicated our lives to the study ofimmunology, we have found that we must have some understanding of many other specialties in order to perform our clinical tasks, or to conduct research in a broader context, which makes our discipline singularly unique. It ...
Enhancement of GLP-1 secretion by enteroendocrine L cells accelerate insulin production by pancreatic beta cells, elevating insulin sensitivity and stimulating satiety. Butyrate is an agonist of FFAR2 that stimulates intestinal gluconeogenesis via oxidation of this SCFA by enterocytes, which results in ...
At this time, to get stem cells that are reliable, scientists either have to use an embryo that has already beenconceivedor elseclonean embryo using a cell from a patient's body and a donated egg. Either way, to harvest an embryo's stem cells, scientists must destroy it. Although that ...

The organ systems are specialized tissues that perform discrete functions. They are vital and thus have interdependencies. For instance, the heart and renal system both need and influence each other. When deficiency requirements of health and damaging factors lead to a weakened state, then the begin...
For example, some studies have shown that NK cells may promote insulitis, destroy insulin-producing islet cells and promote the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D)5–8. In sharp contrast, other studies have shown that NK cells may inhibit the intensity of inflammatory responses within the ...
The pancreas serves two vital functions of the body. It produces the hormone insulin that regulates blood sugar. It also produces enzymes that help break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Answer and Explanation:1 The pancreas is part of the endocrine system. This system involves numerous gl...
at some of the best-characterised functions that only the gut microbiota plays and how it interacts with the host's endocrine system and we try to make it clear that the 21st-century biology cannot afford to ignore this facet of biology, if it wants to fully understand what makes us human...
Recently, there has been a growing interest in mimicking the structure of such a complex organ as the brain, which is a multiscale system that makes in vitro modelling a particular challenge. Aspects that are a challenge in Brain-on-Chip systems include: mimicking the brain microenvironment, th...
There are as many examples of OoCs as there are applications, making it difficult for new researchers to understand what makes one OoC more suited to an application than another. This Primer is intended to give an introduction to the aspects of OoC that need to be considered when developing ...
