SCIENTISTS have suggested that stem cell therapy may offer a regenerative cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D).They said stem cell therapy could be used to regenerate cells of pancreas that produce insulin, ...

Damaging these insulin-producing cells, known as beta cells, can potentially worsen symptoms of diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, wherein the pancreas already makes little to no insulin ...

Researchers have used a pair of drugs to stimulate pancreatic stem cells to grow into insulin-producing cells. The study’s findings could one day lead to an alternative way of restoring insulin ...

The human body can be genetically inclined to attack its own cells, destroying the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin, which helps convert sugar into energy. Called Type 1 diabetes, this ...

I have Type 1 diabetes. I try to stay healthy and keep my blood sugar under control, but it feels like a fight every day. I ...

Jing Hughes, an endocrinologist at Washington University in St. Louis, was working late in the lab recently, imaging cilia in mouse pancreatic beta cells. These cilia, which are tiny hairlike ...

Pancreatic islets from adult human subject stained for Insulin (INS) marking beta cells, for p16, and for HLA-I – the system by which cells display antigens to attract immune attack.

Scientists may have identified a new diabetes subtype in Sub-Saharan Africa and some Black American patient groups. The ...

Losing key type of pancreatic cell may contribute to diabetes Date: March 17, 2023 Source: Weill Cornell Medicine Summary: Multiple types of beta cells produce insulin in the pancreas, helping to ...
