Understanding how different β-cell subtypes impact diabetes risk opens new possibilities for prevention, including maternal nutrition and stem cell-based therapies.

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

In a small cell therapy trial, 10 out of 12 people with type 1 diabetes no longer needed supplemental insulin, even a year after treatment.

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 ...

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 ...

When the team looked at both human and mouse beta cells, they found that cluster 1 beta cells with high CD63 gene expression produce more insulin in response to sugar than the three other types of ...

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 ...

Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, plays an essential role in regulating the level of glucose, or sugar, in the bloodstream. In a healthy adult, special cells in the pancreas called beta ...

Credit: Laboratoire Pedro Herrera – UNIGE Our glycemic balance is based on the ability of the pancreatic beta cells to detect glucose and secrete insulin to maintain our blood sugar levels.

Researchers have found a way to maintain insulin levels in diabetic mice by growing and implanting new beta cells that produce the hormone. These cells are housed inside a tiny device that ...
