Small subpopulations of β-cells do not drive islet oscillatory [Ca(2+)] dynamics via gap junction communication
The islets of Langerhans exist as multicellular networks that regulate blood glucose levels. The majority of cells in the islet are excitable, insulin-producing β-cells that are electrically coupled via gap junction channels. β-cells are known to display heterogeneous functionality. However, due to...
