Scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have uncovered a possible way to protect key cells in the pancreas that are ...

In a proof of concept that may reshape the treatment landscape for insulin-dependent diabetes, scientists have demonstrated that human stomach cells can be reprogrammed to secrete insulin—potentially ...

Our glycaemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...

Roughly half of Americans have prediabetes or diabetes, including an increasing number of children. High blood levels of ...

Researchers have discovered a novel approach to protecting insulin-producing beta cells from the damaging effects of glucolipotoxicity - a harmful condition linked to the progression of type 2 ...

A Vertex Pharmaceuticals cell therapy for type 1 diabetes is enabling patients to produce insulin, eliminating the need for additional insulin therapy in the vast majority of participants in a key ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 4 (UPI) --Argentine scientists have identified a mechanism that allows pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin, to become resistant to damage. The finding opens the door to new ...

A proof-of-concept study finds that donated insulin-producing cells can be genetically modified to avoid provoking the recipient's immune system. Reading time 3 minutes A new case study offers a ...

Pancreatic islets from adult mice. On the left, islet composed of different types of endocrine cells. Right: pancreatic islet composed solely of beta cells. Our glycaemic balance is based on the ...
