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 ...

A recent study identified that a special group of pancreatic beta cells are crucial for triggering the blood sugar response. We know that beta cells of the pancreas play an important role in ...

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, ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied pancreatic islet cell loss (ICL) in people with no previous pancreatic problems. They identified key trends in the types of cells lost due ...

In recent years, we have come to appreciate that loss or dysfunction of insulin-producing islet beta cells underlies virtually all major forms of diabetes mellitus. In type 1 diabetes, beta cells ...

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. If these cells malfunction, the balance is broken, ...

An experimental study led by Pompeu Fabra University describes the mechanism whereby insulinomas, a rare type of neuroendocrine tumour that affects pancreatic beta cells. According to the study, ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...
