A cross-section of islets of Langerhans, a cluster of cells within the pancreas that are responsible for the production and release of hormones that regulate glucose levels. Insulin in beta cells is stained in cyan, cytokeratin 19 in ductal cells in green, red fluorescent protein in ductal cells in red and cell nuclei are blue. Credit: Miguel Angel Maestro/CRG
