Popis: Pancreatic islets are composed of alpha-, beta-, as well as delta-cells and appropriate regulation of glucose homeostasis relies on auto- and paracrine cellular communication. Here, the authors study the role of delta-cell filopodia in this context by employing optogenetic and calcium imaging approaches.
