- hormone-producing) cells of the pancreas are grouped in the so-called Islets of Langerhans. ... Each islet contains a few thousand cells and is 0. ...
- Hormones produced in the Islets of Langerhans are secreted directly into the blood flow by (at least) four different types of cells:.
- 65-80% of the islet cells are insulin-producing beta cells. ...
- The second most abundant cell type is the glucagon-releasing alpha cells (15-20%). ...
- somatostatin-producing delta cells (3-10%) .
- and pancreatic polypeptide-containing PP cells (1%). ...
- Islet cells can influence each other through paracrine and autocrine communication, and beta-cells are coupled electrically to beta-cells (but not to other cell-types!).
- Insulin: Activates beta-cells, inhibits alpha-cells. ...
- Glucagon: Activates beta-cells and delta-cells. ...
- Somatostatin: Inhibits alpha-cells and beta-cells. ...
- Electrical activity of pancreatic islet-cells has been studied using the patch-clamp technique, and it has turned out that the behaviour of cells in intact islets differs significantly from the behaviour of dispersed cells.

12. Spontaneous differentiation of germ cells from human embryonic stem cells in vitro -- Clark et al. 13 (7): 727 -- Human Molecular Genetics
- hmg.oupjournals.org
- Spontaneous differentiation of germ cells from human embryonic stem cells in vitro .
- Little is known of molecular requirements for specification of human germ cells. ... We sought to determine whether human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines, like those of mice, might be capable of forming germ cells in vitro. We compared transcriptional profiles of three pluripotent human ES cells to those of isolated inner cell mass (ICM) cells. We found that ICM cells expressed NANOS1, STELLAR and OCT4, whereas undifferentiated human ES cells expressed these genes along with the germ cell-specific gene, DAZL. Upon ES cell differentiation into embryoid bodies (EBs), we observed a shift in expression from RNA and protein markers of immature germ cells to those indicative of mature germ cells, including expression of VASA, BOL, SCP1, SCP3, GDF9 and TEKT1. Although ability to test the function of these putative VASA positive germ cells is limited, these results demonstrate that differentiation of human ES cells into EBs in vitro results in formation of cells that express markers specific to gonocytes. ...
