In a series of landmark studies published in the journals Nature (2010, 2014 and 2019), Nature Cell Biology (2018) and Nature Communications (2021), the laboratory has discovered that, after ...

UNIGE Scientists show that endocrine stem cells in the pancreas disappear after birth, and detail the genetic identity of the different types of pancreatic hormone-producing cells. The pancreas is ...

The short life of pancreatic endocrine stem cells In two recent publications, Pedro Herrera’s team reports new advances in the knowledge of the mechanisms of pancreatic cell formation, and in the gene ...

Pancreatic endocrine cells were known to emerge along pancreatic tubes, but since these tubes are spread throughout the organ, the exact location of endocrine cell emergence was difficult to pinpoint.

The scientists also succeeded in precisely defining the 'identity card' of pancreatic endocrine cells, which is a promising tool for the production of replacement insulin-secreting cells.

Pancreatic endocrine tumors are rare diseases and devising a clinically effective prognostic stratification of patients is a major clinical challenge. This study aimed at assessing whether the ...

Results Our data showed that a common pattern of microRNA expression distinguishes any tumor type from normal pancreas, suggesting that this set of microRNAs might be involved in pancreatic ...
