Human Pancreatic Islets of Langerhans are derived from the human pancreas.These are primary, non-passaged cells typically used immediately after isolation or short-term culture. They do not proliferate significantly in vitro. They form dense clusters of cells within the pancreas, comprising different endocrine cell types. Pancreatic beta cells (or β cells), which function in insulin secretion, are the most abundant islet cell type, accounting for around 50–70% of human islet cells. There are also glucagon-secreting pancreatic alpha cells (or α cells), Delta cells (δ cells or D cells) secreting somatostatin, Epsilon cells (ε cells) secreting ghrelin, and pancreatic PP cells secreting polypeptides. Beta cells express insulin and transcription factors such as PDX1 and MAFA; alpha cells express glucagon and ARX; delta cells express somatostatin and HHEX. These markers can be detected via immunostaining or qPCR.These pancreatic cells collectively act to maintain glucose homeostasis and regulate other aspects of metabolism.

Human Pancreatic Islets of Langerhans Cells can be used as an in vitro cell model to study the pathogenesis of diabetes. These cells can also be used for the screening and development of hypoglycemic drugs.
These cells are isolated from the pancreas of healthy human donors or patients with diabetes.
Yes, they are ideal for studying insulin secretion, glucose metabolism, and diabetes-related mechanisms.
A specialized pancreatic islet medium supplemented with appropriate growth factors is recommended.
Yes, these cells are commonly used in drug discovery and testing for potential diabetes therapies.
