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 ...

New technology that allows a University of Virginia-developed artificial pancreas system to adapt to users' changing bodies – ...

Clusters of cells called the islets of Langerhans make up much of the rest of the pancreas. These cell clusters release insulin, glucagon, and other hormones directly into the bloodstream ...

Scientists developed an interactive artificial pancreas that uses digital twins to improve blood sugar control in type 1 diabetes patients.

A ‘digital twin’ for diabetes control helps users with Type 1 diabetes with UVA-developed artificial pancreases, a new study ...

The pancreas produces enzymes and hormones that help you digest food. One of these hormones, insulin, is necessary to regulate glucose. Glucose refers to sugars in your body. Every cell in your ...

The pancreas produces and secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon. Beta cells in the pancreas produce insulin, which stimulates the uptake of glucose from the blood into cells, lowering a ...

Known as the Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) system, the artificial pancreas is a device that significantly automates the management of blood sugar and insulin levels — a necessary process for those ...

Cigars and weed probably are, too, but there’s less data. DIABETES HAPPENS WHEN the key hormone the pancreas makes—insulin, which regulates blood sugar—is out of whack. With type 2 diabetes ...

a research group has revealed that stimulating autonomic vagal nerves connected to the pancreas can improve the function and also increase the number of pancreatic beta cells in mice. Insulin is a ...
