Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising ...

Sure enough, the beta cells increased in number by 700% within three months of the treatment. The signs of the disease quickly reversed, and stayed that way even a month after stopping the treatment.

Pancreatic beta-cells synthesize, store and release insulin. But, in type 1 diabetes (T1D), the immune system selectively destroys these cells over time, leading to a lifelong dependence on ...

The traditional perspective, derived largely from studies in nonobese diabetic mice (NOD), has held that T1D results from the loss of immune tolerance to beta cell proteins, and so disease ...

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 ...

In Type 2, beta cell dysfunction has multiple, complex causes, including weight gain, lifestyle changes and lack of exercise. Family history, ethnicity and age can also play a role.

Recent advances in glucose management are reshaping our understanding of cognitive decline and dementia prevention. Energy imbalance and glucose dysregulation are now recognized as central to ...

Targeting a gene in pancreatic beta cells could disrupt the chain of events that leads to the immune system destroying those cells and causing type 1 diabetes. This new study looks at the role of ...

Vascularized stem cell islet organoids are more mature When the researchers compared vascularized organoids to non-vascularized organoids, they found the former secreted more insulin when exposed to ...
