Regenerative medicine holds the extraordinary promise that future patients in need of new cells, tissues or organs will no longer have to rely on donors. Organ shortages and cell type mismatches will ...

Beta cells (marked in green) in the pancreas are organized in structures termed islets. In most adults, it was found that a subset become senescent and display the marker p16, shown here in red. The ...

Disease-modifying therapies for type 1 diabetes are beginning to move care beyond insulin replacement by targeting immune ...

UAB researchers have identified Tomosyn 2 as a key protein that balances insulin secretion and pancreatic beta cell growth, ...

Diabetes researchers and bioinformaticians from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative drugs work. These drugs, developed at ...

On March 16, Prof. James Lo, pharmacology cell and developmental biology, and his team published a study identifying different types of cells in the pancreas, an organ responsible for aiding digestion ...

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, ...

Recent clinical trials have shown promising results of transplanting these cells into individuals with Type 1 diabetes: ...

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 4 (UPI) --Argentine scientists have identified a mechanism that allows pancreatic beta cells, which produce insulin, to become resistant to damage. The finding opens the door to new ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
