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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

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

Scientists show that endocrine stem cells in the pancreas disappear after birth, and detail the genetic identity of the different types of pancreatic hormone-producing cells. The pancreas is a key ...

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 ...

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

Findings represent a detailed resource for future research that could lead to the development of new biomarkers and targeted therapeutics for T1D.
