Our study, “Illuminating the complete ß-cell mass of the human pancreas - signifying a new view on the islets of Langerhans”, is now published in Nature Communications (https://t.co/QXj5zNCcE6). #Diabetes #LSFM #OPT #Pancreas #isletsoflangerhans #Insulin #Glucagon #microscopy

We are very pleased to announce the publication of our new paper in the prestigious journal Nature Communications, where we use sophisticated 3D imaging and novel techniques to map every beta-cell expressing insulin in an entire human pancreas: https://t.co/VaSrkvaWvp

@HernandezAguer I have deleted my RG account as I will not support platforms that promote predatory journals!

We are very pleased to present our new original work published recently in PLOS Genetics (https://t.co/bZCrSZmKkz) showing how daily light cycles are important for normal development, especially in eye development and other sensory systems. Well done team!

We are pleased to present our new work published today in Front Neuroanat (https://t.co/Kuzh9VW34m) showing how Atlantic salmon and their salmonid relatives possess a colour visual system that is shaped by genome duplications and visual opsin gene loss through pseudogenisation.

Throwing it back to two years ago today, when this Guinness World Record was delivered!!
“The first person to walk the length of the Yangtze River is Ash Dykes (UK) and was achieved from 26th August 2018 to 12 August 2019”.
Soon…….

In this study, Hahn et al. present a method for visualizing the endocrine human pancreas in 3D and apply it to individuals with type 2 diabetes to reveal morphological differences in the endocrine pancreas. @lighttodiabetes @UmeaFor https://t.co/jSnmohM1wq

[Ulf Ahlgren´s Research Group (Umeå University) @lighttodiabetes]

Our article is out @CommsBio! By the use of a 3D printed matrix we show how human organs (in our case the pancreas) can be specifically labelled, imaged by optical mesoscopic imaging techniques & reconstructed back together in 3D. https://t.co/1CP4RZZGqz
