However, the molecular basis for such signals remains unknown. Here, we show that β cells,
in contrast to the exocrine pancreatic cells, do not form a basement membrane. Instead, ... Cited by 77 - Related articles - Library Search - All 18 versions

I Konstantinova, E Lammert - transplantation, 2004 - duke.edu Summary Microvascular development is determined by the inter- play between tissue cells and
microvascular endothelial cells. Because the pancreatic islet is an organ composed mainly of
endothelial and endocrine cells, it represents a good model tissue for studying ... Cited by 40 - Related articles - View as HTML - BL Direct - All 4 versions
