@StimulatedRaman @Spect Congratulations Lingyan- a well deserved honor!

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

[Vira Kravets 🇺🇦 @KravetsVira]

BiorXiv:
Islet GLP1-R signaling has 2x effect on 1st phase amplitude, 4x effect on frequency of Ca2+ oscillations (proxy for 2nd phase insulin secretion), 1st responders, and hubs - all without gut - derived GLP. Alpha cells & glucagon are main suspects.

Imagine what would happen today if @doge posted on @x there was a study “testing the venom of Gila monsters to determine if they can cure diabetes “.

Collins and Farnsworth provide an overview of the use of nanocarriers for cell-targeted delivery and the current state of the field of beta cell targeting.

@C_Birznieks I hope you get a hand shake at the dinner table!

[Richard Benninger @BennyScience]

Thank you to my lab minions for all of their hard work!

@annagloyn @bcellorg @KravetsVira @WRISGMeeting Too cool for Cell Metabolism- glad to see the figure ‘published’!

[XX @bcellorg]

Wow! Mathematical modelling of insulin secretion, integrating many upstream and downstream processes - including dual effects of H2O2 and NADPH (and SENP1) at distinct points in secretion. From some colleagues in Maribor.

Congratulations Lori Sussel! @BarbaraDavisCtr @CUDiabetes @CUAnschutz

[Guy Rutter1 @guy_rutter]

Congratulations to #lorisussel on the award of 2024 EASD Albert Renold Prize!

[Richard Benninger @BennyScience]

Check it out- this was a great collaboration with
@merrinslab
and great work from Erli and
@JenniferKBriggs. Come see our talk too, at EASD on the Thursday 12th Sept.

[Matthew Merrins @merrinslab]

Our new preprint presents 3D light-sheet imaging of the intact islet, focusing on β-cell subpopulations that lead and coordinate islet Ca2+ oscillations. Great collaboration between Erli Jin, @JenniferKBriggs, and @BennyScience . https://t.co/1j7mCFDrZP

@EnginLaboratory I mean you’re completely right. Good for the neutral observer!

[Richard Benninger @BennyScience]

Congratulations Turkiye - that game was insane.

[TSN @TSN_Sports]

Türkiye is off to the quarterfinal where they'll face Netherlands! #EURO2024

@guy_rutter @L_F_D_S @CRCHUM @CRCHUM_CELLS @ImperialMDR @HIRN_CC @wellcometrust This is cool work! Congratulations Nikolay and Guy

[Matthew Wortham @WorthamLab]

I’m thrilled to announce I am joining the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at @CUAnschutz! I can’t wait to bridge our prior work on metabolic and epigenomic regulation of beta cell (mal)adaptation into the T1D space. I’ll be recruiting at all levels—reach out if interested!
