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.

A new organ transport technology called the Pancreas Pack is helping more diabetes patients receive life-saving transplants.

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.

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 1, 2025, titled “Oxytocin modulates insulin and GLP-1 secretion in pancreatic islets.” ...

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 ...

Insulin resistance occurs when insulin is produced normally in the pancreas but your body is still unable to move sugar into cells for fuel. This occurs in type 2 diabetes .

They showed that the shift from a repressed to an active chromatin state—marked by changes in histone modifications H3K27me3 and H3K4me3—was essential to kickstart insulin production.

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

IIT Bombay researchers have linked fibrillar collagen 1 to Type 2 diabetes, revealing it may trigger harmful amylin clumps ...

First, what is surprising about brain insulin production is that there is not one but at least six types of insulin-producing brain cell. Some have been confirmed in both rodent and human brain ...

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 ...
