Leurs travaux sur la somesthésie, un sens global qui nous renseigne sur les forces physiques s’exerçant au sein de notre organisme et sur notre peau, ont permis de répondre à une question fondamentale : comment les stimulations thermiques et mécaniques sont-elles converties en signaux électriques dans le système nerveux ?

Islets of Langerhans isolated from brain-dead donors are currently the only cell source for transplantation. Thus, it is crucial to find an alternative and an abundant source of functional insulin secreting cells not only for clinical use but also for the development of research dedicated to the screening of drugs and to the development of new therapeutic targets. Several groups around the world, including ours, develop 3D culture models as Langerhanoids that closely mimick human pancreatic islets physiology. In this review, we describe recent advances to mimic the pancreatic niche (extracellular matrix, vascularization, microfluidics) allowing better functionality of Langerhanoids.</p>","PeriodicalId":519512,"journal":{"name":"Medecine sciences : M/S","volume":"38 1","pages":"52-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39845606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Melatonin is often and surprisingly presented as a molecule with multiple therapeutic properties that can fix (or help to fix) many health issues, such as diseases (cancer, ageing, virus-induced affections including COVID-19, etc…) or toxicological situations (metals, venoms, chemical such as adriamycin [doxorubicin], methotrexate or paclitaxel).
