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 ...

The death of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas is a core defect in diabetes. Scientists in Italy and Texas now have discovered a new way that these cells die — by toxic imbalance of a ...

In preclinical models, rat insulinoma‑derived beta‑cell line INS‑1 (INS‑1) cells and mouse islets showed rapid, robust ...

The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers used a murine model to demonstrate that functional excision of murine phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha (PITPNA) impaired ...

A study led by researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has homed in on a newly discovered molecular mechanism that could prevent insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics. The ...

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the beta islet cells in the pancreas can't naturally produce enough insulin to maintain appropriate blood sugar levels. (Photo: Getty) Still think that getting Covid-19 is ...
