Molecular basis of experimental diabetes: Degeneration, oncogenesis and regeneration of pancreatic B‐cells of islets of Langerhans

Abstract

Abstract Insulin is synthesized in pancreatic B‐cells of islets of Langerhans. Understanding the mechanisms of action of B‐cytotoxins on pancreatic islets seems to be important for elucidating not only the causes of diabetes mellitus but also its prevention.
