Neurotransmitters and Neuropeptides: New Players in the Control of Islet of Langerhans' Cell Mass and Function
Eliana S. Di Cairano,S. Moretti,P. Marciani,V. F. Sacchi,Michela Castagna,Alberto M. Davalli,Franco Folli,Franco Folli,Carla Perego +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence supporting the concept that neurotransmitters/neuropeptides and their receptors are interesting new targets to preserve β‐cell function and mass is focused on.

Shaping Pancreatic β-Cell Differentiation and Functioning: The Influence of Mechanotransduction
A. Galli,Marku Algerta,P. Marciani,Carsten Schulte,Cristina Lenardi,Paolo Milani,Elisa Maffioli,Gabriella Tedeschi,Carla Perego +8 more
TL;DR: Although the regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood, the analysis reveals that β-cells are equipped with all mechanosensors and signaling proteins actively involved in mechanotransduction in other cell types, and they respond to mechanical cues by changing their behavior.

Iron Metabolism in Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function and Dysfunction.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide insights into the mechanisms responsible for iron homeostasis in pancreatic beta-cells, describing how alteration of these processes has been related to beta-cell damage and failure.
Verbascoside Protects Pancreatic β-Cells against ER-Stress.
A. Galli,P. Marciani,A. Marku,Silvia Ghislanzoni,Federico Bertuzzi,Raffaella Rossi,Alessia Di Giancamillo,Michela Castagna,Carla Perego +8 more
TL;DR: The studies provide the evidence that verbascoside boosts the ability of β-cells to cope with ER-stress, an important contributor ofβ-cell dysfunction and failure in diabetic conditions and support the therapeutic potential of verbASCoside in diabetes.

Postnatal maturation of rat intestinal membrane: lipid composition and fluidity.
F. Omodeo-Sale,C. Lindi,P. Marciani,Paolo Cavatorta,Giorgio Sartor,Lanfranco Masotti,G. Esposito +6 more
TL;DR: The lipid composition and the fluidity of small intestine brush border membrane of rats of different age showed a lower lipid/protein ratio and an increase of cholesterol esters and sphingomyelin (SM) saturation index and the percentage distribution of membrane phospholipids significantly changed during development.
