The Islets of Langerhans, named after the German pathologist Paul Langerhans who discovered them, are clusters of cells in the pancreas. They are found in both humans and animals. These cell clusters play a crucial role in the endocrine system, the system responsible for producing and regulating hormones within the body. The islets are composed of alpha, beta, and delta cells, each of which produces a different hormone. Beta cells are the most notable among them as they produce insulin, a hormone crucial for regulating blood sugar levels.
