HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Runhild Gammelsaeter et al. from the Department of Anatomy and CMBN, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway, Institut de Pharmacologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Université de Nice, Nice, France have published the article: A Role for Glutamate Transporters in the Regulation of Insulin Secretion, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of August/11,/2011
