Organoids—tiny, lab-grown 3D clusters of cells—are a useful tool for studying organ development, disease, and drug responses. These miniature organs-in-a-dish are powerful, but they’re not perfect: ...
Pancreatic islets from adult mice. On the left, islet composed of different types of endocrine cells. Right: pancreatic islet composed solely of beta cells. Our glycaemic balance is based on the ...
Toward the goal of elucidating endocrine system aging mechanisms, this study establishes the first single-cell aging atlas across multiple endocrine organs. The research reveals conserved aging ...
Encellin, a biotechnology company pioneering Encapsulated Cell Replacement Therapy (ENCRT), today announced interim clinical results from its ongoing Phase 1 investigational trial (NCT06408311) in ...
Medically reviewed by Kelly Wood, MD Endocrine disorders happen when hormone levels are too high or too low. Fatigue and mood ...
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 is a rare genetic disorder associated with a high risk of developing tumors in your parathyroid gland and pituitary gland, and your pancreas. Multiple endocrine ...
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a type of cancerous growth affecting cells that send hormones around the body. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) grow in the cells of the pancreas that produce ...
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, ...
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors in the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is one of several types of ...
