Exploring Islet Cilia Function

Advancing research on cilia's role in pancreatic islet cell communication and function.

Primary Cilia in Islet Biology

At Hughes Lab, we investigate the role of primary cilia in beta cells to understand islet cell function and communication, aiming to uncover insights into diabetes and related diseases.

Islet Biology Questions

We study cilia regulation in islet cells to understand endocrine function and disease.

Join our team and help shape the next questions in islet cilia biology.

We study how primary cilia function as dynamic signaling hubs in pancreatic islets.
