Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have managed to produce the first molecular map of the genes that are active in the various cells of the human pancreas. They have also revealed differences in genetic activity between people with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. The study, which is published in Cell Metabolism, was conducted in the AstraZeneca and Karolinska Institutet co-run Integrated Cardio Metabolic Centre, and in association with researchers from AstraZeneca.
Although knowledge of what the body looks like and how it operates at a molecular level is still limited, researchers can now examine the organs of the body in a higher resolution than before using a new technique developed by researchers at Karolinska Institutet based on single-cell transcriptomics, which makes it possible to sort out individual cells from complex tissue, study them and analyse the activity of all their genes. Using this technique, scientists can now map out the cells of an organ along with molecular patterns in organs and tissues.

That's Christmas sorted then, for the people who have everything!
