Northwestern University researchers have developed a thermoresponsive antioxidant biomaterial that they suggest may in the future be used to help improve the survival and function of islet cells in ...

Diabetes is the most common and serious chronic disease worldwide, characterized by insufficient insulin to maintain proper ...

At the military hospital in Zaporizhzhia, surgeons have been working around the clock to tend those wounded in the war - Copyright POOL/AFP Anthony Kwan At the ...

Researchers combined electronic sensors with human islet cells to create living ‘cyborg’ organoids transmitting troves of ...

Objective—Somatostatin (SST) is secreted by islet δ-cells and by extraislet neuroendocrine cells. SST receptors have been identified on α- and β-cells, and exogenous SST inhibits insulin and glucagon ...

PSC-derived cells can reverse type 1 diabetes in mice and may overcome some of the hurdles faced by existing stem cell ...

The cytoarchitecture of human islets has been examined, focusing on cellular associations that provide the anatomical framework for paracrine interactions. By using confocal microscopy and multiple ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new antioxidant biomaterial that someday could provide much-needed relief to people living with chronic pancreatitis. The study will be published ...

Severe chronic pancreatitis is treated by removing the pancreas, but without a pancreas, patients also lose insulin-producing cells called islets. To preserve insulin responses, surgeons transplant ...
