The researchers looked at groups of islet cells in the pancreas and found that in people with different types of diabetes (pre-type-one, type-one, and type-2 diabetes), the function of a specific ...

Hidden hierarchy in the pancreas The team wanted to test if first responders are necessary for the follower cells to respond to glucose. Using transparent fish, the Ninov group took advantage of ...

Research introduces new DNA methylation-based method for accurately assessing cell composition in the human pancreas, addressing a critical gap in diabetes research. By overcoming limitations of ...

Uppsala University Hospital-led investigators report that gene-edited donor islet cells survived 12 weeks inside a man with ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.

When the coronavirus infects cells, it not only impairs their activity but can also change their function, new findings suggest. For example, when insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas become ...

They make a small proportion of all the cells in the pancreas, approximately one per cent, making any changes to their morphology or state a potential driver for health problems.

In the late 1990s, Kieffer's colleagues at the University of Alberta were trying to use pancreas cells from cadavers to supply diabetics with insulin – thus eliminating painful injections.
