Examining the beta cell whisperer gene and its implications for future diabetes therapy

by Katrin Boes,  Max Planck Society Wnt4 expression in islets. a Reporter constructs monitoring Wnt4 expression (Wnt4eGFPCre) and used for lineage tracing (Wnt4eGFPCre; mTmG). Expression pattern of Wnt4 revealed by mGFP immunostaining in Wnt4eGFPCre Tg+; mTmG Tg+ islets at E18.5 (b, c), P0 (d), P5 (e) and 8 weeks (f). DAPI marks the nucleus, Insulin β-cells, Glucagon α cells, as color-encoded....
