By Nancy Lapid (Reuters) -Insulin-producing human pancreas cells can be manufactured with 3D printers, researchers reported ...

In a small cell therapy trial, 10 out of 12 people with type 1 diabetes no longer needed supplemental insulin, even a year after treatment.

Too much sugar for too long can cause insulin resistance in "housekeeping" brain cells that help neurons work properly. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center scientists showed that insulin-resistant glia ...

The brain microvascular endothelial cell (BMEC) insulin concentration is estimated based on the observed ability of aortic endothelial cells to concentrate insulin (55). Figure 2. Pathways for ...

Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil have succeeded in showing, in an animal model, that the process of insulin resistance in the brain affects both Alzheimer's disease and ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

They increased either the fat or glucose content of the flies’ diet by adding either a little coconut oil or sucrose to their food. 4 Flies that consumed a high-fat diet showed increased Vaha gene ...

Unlike most of the body’s cells, embryonic stem cells — which are created from human embryos — can give rise to every tissue and organ in the body, from brain to muscle to the insulin ...

Chronic high blood sugar and insulin levels eventually lead to insulin resistance, a condition where cells become less responsive to insulin’s signals. The brain, once thought to be insulin ...

A review of the recent evidence suggests that GLP-1 drugs, such as semaglutide, could protect brain health and cognitive function by reducing inflammation.

Researchers have figured out how to wake up dormant stem cells in the brain that have the ability to grow into new cells. It opens the door to developing new therapies for neurodevelopmental ...

These findings strengthen the notion that brain insulin resistance plays a crucial role in epilepsy and may be one of the main mechanisms linking this disorder to Alzheimer's disease," says Alves.
