All this has occurred at a time when new crises have emerged around the world, from South Sudan to Yemen, and the United Nations is embarking on a process of reflection on whether and how to update the global governance of forced migration. Research has an important role to play: in challenging myths, reframing questions, providing critical distance, offering practical solutions, and upholding the value of evidence.

Glucagon secretion has been proposed to be regulated by diabetes; electrophysiology; experimental diabetes; either intrinsic or paracrine mechanisms, but their relative significance and the conditions under which glucagon; intrinsic they operate are debated. Importantly, the paracrine and intrinsic modes of regulation are not mutually mechanisms; pancreatic exclusive; they could operate in parallel to control glucagon secretion. Here we have applied mathemat- alpha-cells; paracrine ical modelling of a-cell electrical activity as a novel means of dissecting the processes that underlie metabolic regulation of glucagon secretion. Our analyses indicate that basal hypersecretion of somato- statin and/or increased activity of somatostatin receptors may explain the loss of adequate counter- regulation under hypoglycaemic conditions, as well as the physiologically inappropriate stimulation of glucagon secretion during hyperglycaemia seen in diabetic patients.
