Scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have discovered insulin-producing beta cells in pancreatic islets suffer less from excess sugar when they have previously been exposed to ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report losing a type of beta cell may contribute to the development of diabetes. The researchers measured gene expression in individual beta cells of mice and ...

The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can infect insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, reducing their ability to secrete insulin and sometimes causing cell death, a new study suggests. In addition, ...

Insulin is a vital hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the destruction of these cells, which results in patients having to replace the lost insulin with multiple ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have studied pancreatic islet cell loss in people with no previous pancreatic problems. They identified key trends in the types of cells ...

On March 16, Prof. James Lo, pharmacology cell and developmental biology, and his team published a study identifying different types of cells in the pancreas, an organ responsible for aiding digestion ...

Sudden-onset diabetes is usually the body's way of signaling that the pancreas is under strain or has already begun to lose ...

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 ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) impacts nearly two million Americans, and by the time most people learn they have it, most of the ...
