@BruceVerchere @YCC_YiChunChen @CIHR_IRSC @JDRF_Canada Congratulations YCC!!

[Dr. Teresa Mastracci @TeresaMastracci]

@DanielJDrucker beat me to it! Our study in @Diabetes_ADA is online! Spoiler alert…we found an mRNA #translation mechanism in the #beta cell that regulates “on-demand” protein synthesis. Coolest finding-#Insulin is translationally regulated! Pls read & RT

Dr. Maki Nakayama, @Teresa_IDF1 and @DrPeterThompson provided amazing talks in the last session, Expanding roles of islet cells in type 1 diabetes, of the 2023 ISG meeting!

What a cool Beta Cell Biology session chaired by @LickertHeiko and @pullen_tj. Outstanding talks from Peter Thorn, @Oidevall and @LinnemannLab !!

@guy_rutter presenting the 2023 @BiochemSoc Sir Philip Randle lecture! Thank you for a fantastic overview of glucose sensing in pancreatic beta cells from a perspective rooted in biochemistry, history and new data! #islets2023

[Islet Study Group Meeting 2023 @IsletsInVan2023]

We're learning about 'Targeting the opposing roles of PGE2 receptors, EP3 and EP4, in the pathogenesis of type one diabetes' from @JulieBurkett9 (PhD candidate 🙃 in the @GannonLab )

Ekaterina Filatov showing us data from a collaborative project between the labs of @nictitate @BruceVerchere and @mklevings - Attracting T regs to beta SC transplants in mice!
'Yay Tregs in the graft' 💪

@DSLuciani presenting data on behalf of Daniel Pasula! Turns out Bcl-xL is required for PGC-1a-dependent regulation of mtROS and mitochondrial adaptation in beta cells under glucose stress! Beautiful islet images as always 💪

[Islet Study Group Meeting 2023 @IsletsInVan2023]

Alexander Frueh from the @Alphacell_metab lab teaching us that glucose dependent changes in cytosolic redox potential maintain alpha cell function!
#islets2023

[Dr Christina Gangemi @ChristinaGangem]

Interested in performing #optogenetics studies in pancreatic islets, other primary tissue, cell lines or small organisms (e.g. zebrafish or flies)?

Today I'll be presenting a poster (#54) on the modular LED shelving system I developed at #ISLETS2023 @IsletsInVan2023!
Thread 👇

[Nicole Krentz @nkrentz]

.@JelenaK86 is taking us through her recent preprint on proteomic predictors of nutrient-specific insulin secretion @IsletsInVan2023

She is also on the job market!

[Aileen King @aileenjfking]

Great talk at the islet study group in Vancouver by Lydia! #proudsupervisor @LydiaGatward @IsletsInVan2023 @DRG_Kings

[Cristina Nostro @mcnostro]

Wonderful talk by @Yassi_ag @IsletsInVan2023. So nice to see each other again

[Søs Skovsø, PhD @SisSkovsoe]

I'm beyond proud of @JelenaK86 for presenting her impressive insulin secretion and proteomics data (in response to different macronutrients). Note to all that gene expression data are affected by islet prep technical matters, whereas proteins aren't.

@nictitate showing the islet field important beta SC and human islet differences. Beta SCs are closer to human islets than they once were, but it appears we aren't fully there yet! Francis reminds us that human beta cells don't work alone - the different islets cells network!
