Electrophysiology of pancreatic β-cells in intact mouse islets of Langerhans.
When exposed to intermediate glucose concentrations (6-16 mol/l), pancreatic β-cells in intact islets generate bursts of action potentials (superimposed on depolarised plateaux) separated by repolarised electrically silent intervals. First described more than 40 years ago, these oscillations have co...
