How and why do neurons generate complex rhythms with various frequencies? by Teresa Ree Chay, Young Seek Lee

“…Understanding of how these neurons utilizes endogenous rhythms to communicate with each other is important in elucidating where the brain gets various rhythms and why it can pervert into abnormal rhythms under diseased conditions. Using the islet of Langerhans in pancreas as an example, in the second part of this review, we illustrate how insulin secreting β-cells communicate with glucagon secreting α-cells to achieve an optimal insulin release.…”

Hadrup, Sally C. Kent, Sarah J. Richardson, Nicola Ternette, Roberto Mallone

“…While the resting β-cell immunopeptidome is dominated by HLA-A-restricted peptides, IFN-α largely favors HLA-B and only marginally upregulates HLA-A, translating into increased HLA-B-restricted peptide presentation and activation of HLA-B-restricted CD8+ T cells. Lastly, islets of patients with T1D show preferential HLA-B hyper-expression when compared with non-diabetic donors, and islet-infiltrating CD8+ T cells reactive to HLA-B-restricted granule peptides are found in T1D donors. …”
