Pancreatic islets, also known as islets of Langerhans, are clusters of cells within the pancreas that are responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by producing and releasing hormones such as insulin and glucagon. Research in the area of pancreatic islets focuses on understanding the function of these cells, their role in diabetes and metabolic disorders, and potential therapeutic interventions for managing these conditions. Studies may investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying islet function, as well as explore novel approaches for restoring islet function in individuals with diabetes through transplantation or other treatments. Additionally, researchers may study the impact of lifestyle factors, genetics, and environmental influences on islet health and function.
