Insulinotropic activity of Tinospora crispa extract: effect on β-cell Ca2+ handling by Noor, Hamdan, Ashcroft, Stephen J. H.

“…The mechanism of insulinotropic action of Tinospora crispa was investigated in vitro using an insulin-secreting clonal β-cell line, HIT-T15. The aqueous extract sensitizes the β-cell to extracellular Ca2+ and promotes intracellular Ca2+ accumulation which in turn causes increased insulin release. …”

Discrete geodesic graphs by Fang, Zheng

“…The computational domain shrinks to a local patch as the basis function decays to zero outside one-ring neighbors of the patch. I introduce an optimization scheme to solve the localized harmonic B-spline equation and compute the discrete Green's function quickly, which is a better simulation of ground truth on synthetic models according to experimental results. …”
