Abstract
We have found that insulin(+) cells are continuous with duct cells in the epithelium that makes up the hyperplastic ducts of both chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer in humans. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that both hyperplastic ductal cells and their associated insulin(+) cells arise...

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to be a major health problem worldwide. It is well known that T2DM is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, which arises from insufficient pancreatic insulin secretion, insulin resistance in peripheral tissues, and inadequate suppression of gl...

Abstract
The pars tuberalis (PT) is the only pituitary region in close contact with the medial-basal hypothalamus and bathed by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Although PT has long been recognized as an endocrine gland, certain aspects of its structure remain obscure. The present investigation has been designed t...

Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to study the structure and regeneration of the endocrine apparatus of the human gastric mucosal glandular epithelium. Using electron microscopy, the mucosal biopsy specimens obtained from 14 patients with chronic erosive Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis, were...

Abstract
Gangliocytic paraganglioma (GPG) is a rare tumor, occurring almost exclusively in the duodenum. In the present case, a submucosal tumor 2.5 x 2 x 1.5 cm in size was located on the anal side of the papilla of Vater, with clear margins and without capsule on cut-surface examination. Tu...

Abstract
Endocrine cells in the larval midgut of Drosophila melanogaster are recognized by antisera to seven regulatory peptides: the allatostatins A, B, and C, short neuropeptide F, neuropeptide F, diuretic hormone 31, and the tachykinins. These are the same peptides that are produced by the endocrine cells...

Abstract
The ontogeny and distribution of gastrin- and serotonin-immunoreactive (IR) cell in the proventriculus of chicks (Gallus gallus domestica, n = 60) in different growth periods was examined immunohistochemically using antisera specific to gastrin and serotonin. Gastrin and serotonin-IR cells were dete...

Abstract
We review the role of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) in guiding lineage commitment and driving cell differentiation, as well as their pharmacological manipulation using small-molecule HDAC inhibitors in various differentiation programs. In particular, we focus on the pancreas as we recently dis...

Abstract
In endocrine cells, prohormones and granins are segregated in the TGN (trans-Golgi network) from constitutively secreted proteins, stored in concentrated form in dense-core secretory granules, and released in a regulated manner on specific stimulation. The mechanism of granule format...

Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the regional distribution pattern and relative frequency of some endocrine cells in the three portions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT)--the proventriculus, gizzard and duodenum- of the rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis subtorquata), by i...

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that gastric and intestinal endocrine cell (End-cell) marker expression is important for assessment of the histogenesis of endocrine cell tumors. However, the End-cell phenotypes of carcinoid tumors in the rectum remain largely unclear. We therefore examined marker ex...

Abstract
We deleted Jag1 in foregut endoderm and examined postnatal and embryonic endocrine cells and precursors. Postnatal Jag1 mutants display increased Ngn3 expression, alpha-cell mass, and endocrine cell percentage, similar to the early embryonic phenotype of Dll1 and Rbpj mutants. However, in sharp cont...

Abstract
hESC-derived ILC grafts continued to contain cells that were positive for islet endocrine hormones and were shown to be functional by their ability to secrete human C-peptide. Further enrichment and maturation of ILCs could lead to generation of a sufficient source of insulin-producing cells for tra...
