Abstract

Lighting up the pancreas: A pancreatic beta cell selective probe PiY (green, see picture) was developed, which stains Langerhans islets in live animals without toxicity or side effects. Through tail-vein injection, PiY allowed for a comparison of the islets between healthy and diabetic mice. PiY also facilitated the isolation of healthy Langerhans islets using a fluorescence-guided surgical procedure.
