In 2000, a C-type lectin with localized to cells named for this scientist was discovered; that lectin iscluster of differentiation 207.
In 2000, a C-type lectin with localized to cells named for this scientist was discovered; that lectin iscluster of differentiation 207. Lesions of those cells named for this scientist are symptomatic ofhistiocytosis X. Tennis-racket shaped structures seen in the cytoplasm of those cells are Birbeck granules,and those cells are immature dendritic cells of the epidermis and mucosa. Polypeptides secreted by cells ina structure named for this person include PP, ghrelin, amylin, and somatostatin. That structure is a clusterof endocrine cells, including delta, alpha and beta cells; the latter two secrete glucagon and insulin. For 10points, identify this biologist who names some "islets" found in the pancreas.
