Scientists have known for more than 100 years about insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. These spherical islands of cells, called islets, contain insulin-producing beta cells.

Obesity caused by a high-fat Western diet damages the pancreas, affecting insulin production and blood sugar control even ...

The pancreas is the organ that produces insulin. Insulin is an essential hormone for regulating blood glucose levels. Problems with the pancreas and insulin production can lead to diabetes.

In the current study, they looked at whether non-beta cells were even necessary for insulin production. Diagram of the pancreas showing the different types of islet cells and the hormones they produce ...

Type 1 diabetes will always require insulin therapy. However, researchers are trying to figure out a way to restore the pancreas’s insulin production function.

This could happen if your pancreas slows down insulin production or your body doesn’t use insulin as well as it should. You may be able to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by: ...

Type 1 diabetes affects over 8 million people around the world. It’s a lifelong condition that occurs when the immune system ...

Insulin-producing human pancreas cells can be manufactured with 3D printers, researchers reported at the International Transplant Congress underway in London.

For people without diabetes, this system operates seamlessly—insulin production increases after meals and decreases during fasting periods. The pancreas maintains blood glucose levels within a ...

Each diabetes type affects insulin production in a different way. Type 1 diabetes causes damage to the beta cells in your pancreas that make insulin. As a result, your body can't produce enough of ...

Your brain makes insulin – the same insulin produced by your pancreas. The same insulin that is not produced in people with type 1 diabetes and the s Tuesday, 02 January 2024 12:17 GMT ...
