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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have established a novel transplantation site for islets of Langerhans that enables long ...

Pre-existing insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells, but not their progenitors, have been shown to contribute to new beta cells in the adult pancreas, according to a Chinese study led by scientists ...

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 ...

The autoimmune disorder destroys the body’s ability to produce insulin. Some patients in experimental trials have gotten it ...

A research team has uncovered the role of a gene that is critical to boosting the number of insulin-producing cells during the early development of the pancreas. Experiments with mouse models revealed ...
