Understanding how different β-cell subtypes impact diabetes risk opens new possibilities for prevention, including maternal ...

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 ...

I have Type 1 diabetes. I try to stay healthy and keep my blood sugar under control, but it feels like a fight every day. I ...

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 ...

Losing key type of pancreatic cell may contribute to diabetes Date: March 17, 2023 Source: Weill Cornell Medicine Summary: Multiple types of beta cells produce insulin in the pancreas, helping to ...

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 ...

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.

Researchers have used a pair of drugs to stimulate pancreatic stem cells to grow into insulin-producing cells. The study’s findings could one day lead to an alternative way of restoring insulin ...

Researchers have successfully treated type 1 diabetes in mice using pancreatic beta-cell, target-specific, chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) regulatory T cells (Tregs), and demonstrated the ...

The pancreas is a key metabolic regulator. When pancreatic beta cells cease producing enough insulin, blood sugar levels rise dangerously -- a phenomenon known as hyperglycemia -- thus triggering ...
