Pancreatic islets are mini-organs that make and release insulin and several other peptide hormones to control our glucose levels. Although various studies have previously looked at how pancreatic ...

A team of international scientists has made a major leap forward in diabetes research by successfully 3D printing functional human islets using a novel bioink. Presented today at the ESOT Congress ...

Researchers at Umeå University have succeeded in imaging an entire human organ, a pancreas, in microscopic resolution. By staining different cell-types with antibodies and then using optical 3D ...

Diabetes develops when the body fails to manage its blood glucose levels. One form of diabetes causes the body to not produce insulin at all. Called Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, this autoimmune disease ...

The image shows Langerhans islets after chronic intermittent fasting. On the left those of an adult animal, on the right those of a young animal. The beta cells of the pancreatic Langerhans’ islets ...

Wenzhou Medical University researchers have reimagined the spleen as a viable site for islet transplantation, enabling long-term diabetes control without the burden of full immunosuppression.

CHICAGO — Ten people with type 1 diabetes, who had recurrent severe hypoglycemia and hypoglycemic unawareness, have remained insulin-independent for over a year following allogeneic stem cell-derived ...

Detailed characterization of human pancreatic islets is key to elucidate the pathophysiology of all forms of diabetes mellitus, including its most common form known as type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, ...
