Integrin αvβ5 heterodimer is a specific marker of human pancreatic beta cells

Abstract The identification of cell surface markers specific to pancreatic beta cells is important for both the study of islet biology and for investigating the pathophysiology of diseases in which this cell type is lost or damaged. Following analysis of publicly available RNAseq data, we identified...
