Decoding micro-organ function with transdisciplinary tools for biomedical applications: the case of the pancreatic islets
Better understanding and curing living organs requires transdisciplinary expertise. The islets of Langerhans in the pancreas are fascinating, vital and complex micro-organs, ~100 μm in diameter, which regulate blood glucose, nutrient metabolism and are involved in diabetes, the most common chronic metabolic disease. In this talk, will be presented our transdisciplinary work between biology, physics, chemistry and clinical medicine to develop high resolution sensors with automatic real-time analysis of islet function. Our approaches have provided advances in understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of these micro-organs and open new biomedical applications in the field of diabetes.
