Functional architecture of pancreatic islets identifies a population of first responder cells that drive the first-phase calcium response.

Insulin-secreting β-cells are functionally heterogeneous. Whether there exist cells driving the first-phase calcium response in individual islets, has not been examined. We examine "first responder" cells, defined by the earliest [Ca2+] response during first-phase [Ca2+] elevation, distinc...
