Solute carrier family 41 member A1 (SLC41A1) has been suggested to mediate magnesium
(Mg 2+ ) transport by several in vitro studies. However, the physiological function of …

Microencapsulating pancreatic islets in immunoprotective alginate hydrogels is a promising
strategy for treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, this strategy is limited by inflammation …

The clinical success rate of islet transplantation, namely independence from insulin injections,
is limited by factors that lead to graft failure, including inflammation, acute ischemia, acute …

Renal tubular cells respond to mechanical stimuli generated by urinary flow to regulate the
activity and transcript abundance of important genes for ion handling, cellular homeostasis, …

The PKD1 gene encodes polycystin-1 (PC1), a mechanosensor triggering intracellular responses
upon urinary flow sensing in kidney tubular cells. Mutations in PKD1 lead to autosomal …

In kidney, transcellular transport of Ca 2+ is mediated by transient receptor potential vanilloid
5 and Na + ‐Ca 2+ exchanger 1 proteins in distal convoluted and connecting tubules (…

As a treatment for type I diabetes, clinical islet transplantation (CIT) in which donor islets of
Langerhans are transplanted intrahepatically has become a viable option for patients. …

The clinical success of islet transplantation is limited by factors including acute ischemia,
stress upon transplantation, and delayed vascularization. Islets experience high levels of …

In article number 2011205, Tiago H. Silva, Aart A. van Apeldoorn, and co-workers explore the
potential of fucoidan, a marine sulfated polysaccharide, for pancreatic islet encapsulation. …

The removal of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) as feed additives in poultry nutrition from
the market in many countries has compelled researchers to find unconventional and safe …
