Declarations
:
: The authors declare no competing interests.
: Animal care takes place in the Central Animal Facility of the Technische Universität Braunschweig and is supervised by the responsible authority (LAVES = Niedersächsisches Landesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit of the state of Lower Saxony, Germany). Sacrificing mice to isolate pancreatic islets for ex vivo experimentation is not defined as animal experimentation and thus no project-specific ethics approval was required.
