Functional identification of islet cell types by electrophysiological fingerprinting

The α-, β- and δ-cells of the pancreatic islet exhibit different electrophysiological features. We used a large dataset of whole-cell patch-clamp recordings from cells in intact mouse islets (N=288 recordings) to investigate whether it is possible to reliably identify cell type (α, β or δ) based on...
