Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a ...

In 2010, Herrera and his researchers discovered that if beta cells die prematurely, the pancreatic cells responsible for producing other hormones such as glucagon, which counteracts insulin’s ...

A proof-of-concept study demonstrates that ductal cells derived from the human pancreas can be influenced by pharmacological stimulation to regenerate beta-like cells that functionally release insulin ...

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.

Beta cells in the pancreas manage this balance by releasing insulin when blood sugar levels rise. Understanding how beta cells work and coordinate the response to rising blood sugar can ultimately ...

Single-cell transcriptome profiling of pancreatic islets from early diabetic mice identifies Anxa10 for Ca2+ allostasis toward β-cell failure. Diabetes, 2023; DOI: 10.2337/db23-0212 ...

Researchers used a trio of transcription factors to transform pancreatic duct cells in vivo into β-like cells that secrete insulin and improve diabetes symptoms. In diabetic mice, the cells of the ...

A transplanted pseudoislet made from CD63hi beta cells. [Weill Cornell Medicine] Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report losing a type of beta cell may contribute to the development of ...

Researchers develop pancreatic beta-cell restoring therapy for treating type 1 diabetes Date: June 15, 2022 Source: The Endocrine Society Summary: Researchers have successfully treated type 1 ...

Image of the pancreas of a mouse with disrupted RNA editing in beta cells, showing massive inflammation destroying an islet of Langerhans. Blue, DNA; Green, insulin-producing beta cells; red ...
