In a leap forward for diabetes research, Tokyo Tech researchers reveal that the feel-good hormone, dopamine, regulates insulin secretion through a heteromeric complex of receptors, thereby ...

Microtubules -- cellular 'highways' that deliver cargo to the cell membrane for secretion -- have a surprising role in pancreatic beta cells. Instead of facilitating glucose-stimulated insulin ...

While treatments for type 1 diabetes are rapidly evolving, even the most recent hi-tech artificial pancreas system still involves glucose monitors and insulin pumps. But a new development from ...

In a new study, researchers from the universities of Uppsala and Lund show why insulin secretion is not working properly in patients suffering from type-2 diabetes.

Highlights: * Collagen I in the pancreas may accelerate toxic amylin aggregation * This buildup harms (and) #946;-cells, reducing insulin production * Findings could //explain why some diabetes ...

A team led by scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology reported that it has uncovered the precise mechanism through which dopamine regulates insulin secretions. Using total internal ...

Diabetes is a lifelong, chronic health condition caused by abnormalities in the body's production and use of the hormone insulin. Research has shown that the feel-good hormone, dopamine (DA ...
