Transcriptional profiles of human islet and exocrine endothelial cells in subjects with or without impaired glucose metabolism

Abstract In experimental studies, pancreatic islet microvasculature is essential for islet endocrine function and mass, and islet vascular morphology is altered in diabetic subjects. Even so, almost no information is available concerning human islet microvascular endothelial cell (MVEC) physiology a...
