Transcriptome analysis of highly purified islet cell populations

Therapies focused on sustaining or promoting endogenous insulin production for individuals at risk for or with T1D will require a thorough understanding of the gene expression patterns in islet α, β, and δ cells from control subjects and from individuals with T1D. Toward that end, we have developed methods to essentially purify α, β, and δ cells from human pancreata by […]
