They were designed to treat diabetes, then prescribed for weight loss, and now—as researchers are finding—they might hold the ...

If insulin can’t get out of blood vessels, it can’t act in its target tissues. “Endothelial cells are full of insulin receptors,” says Stefan Offermanns, who led the study.

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...

A new study uncovers how endothelial cells contribute to insulin resistance in obesity-associated diabetes, highlighting adrenomedullin as a potential therapeutic target.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) have uncovered a direct connection between high insulin ...

New stem cell therapy offers hope for type 1 diabetes, freeing patients from insulin. Learn why diverse clinical trial ...

A new study finds four factors that may make it more likely for some people to experience successful weight loss from using ...

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

Stimulating a receptor in adipocytes enhanced energy expenditure and caused sustained weight loss in mice, offering targets to treat obesity and metabolic diseases.

The first-ever human trial exploring the use of stem cell therapy to reverse hearing loss is about to be under way. Conducted by researchers from the University of Sheffield who formed their own ...

An engineered protein turns off the kind of immune cells most likely to damage tissue as part of type-1 diabetes, hepatitis, multiple sclerosis, shows a new study in mice.
