Rat Pancreas Tissue

In this section, the three-dimensional reconstruction depicts rat pancreas tissue stained with Alexa Fluor 488 (wheat germ agglutinin; highlighting lectins), Alexa Fluor 568 (phalloidin; labeling actin filaments), and DAPI (nuclei). The pancreas aids in digestion by creating enzymes that are sent to the intestine via the pancreatic duct. It also secretes insulin that is vital in the regulation of glucose metabolism.
