Using mouse models to study the development of Diabetes Research Methods and Objectives Using human islets transplanted into immunodeficient mice under different glycaemic conditions, we aim to study the secretion of hormones from human islets with high resolution microscopy. Image Cells within islet visualised using HiVolution: super resolution live imaging with confocal microscope (Leica SP8 3D multi-colour gSTED). Cells stained with mitotracker green (490/516).
