Nice one @daveyboyhod !
Dr. David Hodson (@daveyboyhod) and team show that GLP1R is enriched as nanodomains on beta cell membranes that contact alpha cells, in keeping with increased single-molecule transcript expression. 💡 Learn more: bit.ly/451mubz

This is a *pretty amazing* paper--really fascinating implications for those who wish the field would finally begin to look into #cellbio cell.com/cell-metabolis…
A regulated pathway through which glucagon modulates insulin release via alpha to beta cell communication and control of GLP-1R internalization and beta cell Ca2+ responses to high glucose @Cell_Metabolism @daveyboyhod #islets cell.com/cell-metabolis…
Great read!!

Tong et al. show that beta cells adjacent to alpha cells are equipped as glucagon sensors by virtue of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor enrichment and disproportionately contribute to alpha cell regulation of beta cell function. cell.com/cell-metabolis…
膵α細胞はグルカゴン放出を介してβ細胞の機能をパラクライン的に調節しますが、分子機構は不明です。α細胞に隣接するβ細胞がGLP1Rの高発現によってグルカゴンセンサーとして特別に適応して血糖値の上昇に最初に反応していることを示した論文がCell Metab誌に発表されました。 cell.com/cell-metabolis…

Very pleased to share my first-author paper, now published online in @Cell_Metabolism featuring my DPhil work with @daveyboyhod. We used advanced imaging approaches to reveal the mechanisms underlying islet α-cell to β-cell communication via GLP1R. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
It was my honour to have been nominated by the Australian High Commission to attend the King’s Garden Party at Buckingham Palace as a representative of Australia, in recognition of my work. Meeting Their Majesties up close was a particular treat!
