Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells derived from porcine exocrine pancreas improve insulin secretion from juvenile porcine islet cell clusters.

Sandrine Gerber, Luca Szabó, Léo Bühler

Neonatal and juvenile porcine islet cell clusters (ICC) present an unlimited source for islet xenotransplantation to treat type 1 diabetes patients. We isolated ICC from pancreata of 14 days old juvenile piglets and characterized their maturation by immuno ...

The ULK1/2 and AMPK Inhibitor SBI-0206965 Blocks AICAR and Insulin-Stimulated Glucose Transport

The small molecule kinase inhibitor SBI-0206965 was originally described as a specific inhibitor of ULK1/2. More recently, it was reported to effectively inhibit AMPK and several studies now report its use as an AMPK inhibitor. Currently, we investigated t ...

A high sensitivity low-power capacitive front-end for insulin injection pens

Maher Kayal, François Krummenacher, Jean-Baptiste Robert Orhan, François Pierre Gaugaz

A low-power 14-bits first order incremental Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is presented. Based on the charge balancing principle, this switched-capacitor (SC) circuit integrates the input signal multiple times to reach the targeted resolution, linearity ...

Sorbitol Demineralization by Ion Exchange

Edgard Gnansounou, Binod Parameswaran

Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol commonly known as D-glucitol. It is synthesized from glucose by a reduction reaction altering the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. The body slowly metabolizes sorbitol, minimizing the possibility of increasing the insulin lev ...

A bioactive injectable bulking material; a potential therapeutic approach for stress urinary incontinence

Matthias Lütolf, Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Ganesh Vythilingam

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a life changing condition, affecting 20 million women worldwide. In this study, we developed a bioactive, injectable bulking agent that consists of Permacol (TM) (Medtronic, Switzerland) and recombinant insulin like gro ...

A multiscale study of the role of dynamin in the regulation of glucose uptake

Johan Auwerx, Martinus Gijs, Kristina Schoonjans, Laurent Mouchiroud, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Keir Joe Menzies, Maria Cristina Letizia

Glucose uptake in muscle cells in response to insulin is a fundamental mechanism for metabolism. The inability of cells to mobilize the specific glucose transporter GLUT4 is believed to be at least partially accountable for diseases, like diabetes, where c ...

Glutamate Cysteine Ligase-Modulatory Subunit Knockout Mouse Shows Normal Insulin Sensitivity but Reduced Liver Glycogen Storage

Pierre Magistretti, Kim Do

Glutathione (GSH) deficits have been observed in several mental or degenerative illness, and so has the metabolic syndrome. The impact of a decreased glucose metabolism on the GSH system is well-known, but the effect of decreased GSH levels on the energy m ...
