Using a blend of computer modeling, structural and cell-based studies, scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute have ...

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, ...

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 ...

In the battle against type 1 diabetes (T1D), one researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is leading a ...

People living with diabetes might have a new hope. Scientists have tested a new drug therapy in diabetic mice, and found that it boosted insulin-producing cells by 700% over three months, effectively ...

A new therapy for type 1 diabetes could nix the need for insulin injections. Just a single infusion of lab-grown pancreatic cells let patients’ bodies make all the insulin they needed, scientists ...

Stress does no one - not even your insulin-producing cells - any good. Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have identified a gene that, when activated by metabolic stress, damages ...

Transplanting insulin-producing cells along with engineered blood-vessel-forming cells has successfully reversed type 1 diabetes, according to a new preclinical study. With further testing, the novel ...

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 ...
