Pancreatic Alpha-cell Characterization in Healthy and Type 1 Diabetic Mice Employing Organotypic Tissue Slice Preparations
Pancreatic alpha- and beta-cells play vital roles in maintaining glucose homeostasis. While much work has investigated beta-cell biology, alpha-cell research has been scarce. This is due to limitations in conventional methods of alpha-cell preparation, which expose alpha-cells on the islet mantle t...
