About this Research Topic
The debates are led by scientists from leading research groups in their respective fields and are on topics ranging from molecular mechanisms over physiology, technical aspects to clinical applications.
The articles are particularly dedicated to readers working in the field of pancreatic beta cells and diabetes, but also of potential interest to other life scientists. Topics of interest includes, but are not restricted to, human beta cell function, proliferation, dedifferentiation, death, ER stress, beta cell heterogeneity and hubs, genetics and epigenetics, single cell-based gene expression, islet vascularization and innervation, human stem cell-derived islets, islet transplantation, beta cell-directed drugs, and artificial pancreas.
