of the islets of Langerhans, which regulate blood glucose levels. The exocrine function is performed by acinar cells, which secrete digestive enzymes that are collected by the pancreatic ducts and ...

Model more closely replicates natural environment of the pancreas, which will be essential for studying diabetes and ...

Researchers led by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance, published in ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.

“Our results highlight the importance of a vascular network in supporting pancreatic islet cell function,” says Sander. “This model brings us closer to replicating the natural environment of the ...

Researchers led by Maike Sander, Scientific Director of the Max Delbrück Center, have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas.

The pancreas is a complex organ that consists of two parts: exocrine, which secretes digestive enzymes into the gut; and endocrine, which secretes the four hormones insulin, glucagon, somatostatin ...

An international team of researchers led by Max Delbrück Center Scientific Director Professor Maike Sander has for the first time developed an organoid model of human pluripotent stem cell-derived ...
